The table gives the projections of the population, in millions, of a country's residents over age 16 for selected years from 2015 to 2060. Answer parts (a) through (c). b. What does the model predict that the population will be in 2052? Year 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 c. In what year does the model predict that the population will be 336.823million? Population (millions) a. Find a linear function that models the data, with y equal to the population in millions and x equal to the number of years after 2010. y=x+ (Type integers or decimals rounded to three decimal places as needed.) 255.161 266.024 276.558 286.967 297,259 Year 2040 2045 2050 2055 2060 Population (millions) 306.634 315.152 323.314 331.770 340.868 D

The growth rate of the speed of sound in relation to the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is a linear function. The speed of sound at 0 degrees Fahrenheit is 1052.3 feet per second. For every 1 degree Fahrenheit rise in temperature, the speed of sound increases by 1.1 feet per second.  A. Identify the initial value of linear function that gives the speed of sound in terms of temperature. B. A 20 degree Fahrenheit rise in temperature would provide what increase in the speed of sound? C. What would the speed of sound be after a 67 degree Fahrenheit rise in temperature?

Assume that the median rent will grow linearly, and use the data in the table below to find a formula for the each of the following linear functions: - allows you to predict the median rent for all renters at any time  years after 2010. - allows you to predict the median rent for recent renters at any time years after 2010
