The average amount A (in pounds per person) of fish and shellfish consumed in the United States during the period 1992–2001 can be modeled by A = (3.2x + 260)/(52x + 3800) where x is the number of years since 1992. Rewrite the model so that it has only whole number coefficients. Then simplify the model.

The table gives the population of the United States, in millions, for the years 1900–2010. Use a graphing calculator with exponential regression capability to model the US population since 1900. Use the model to estimate the population in 1925 and to predict the population in the year 2020.
America is getting older. The graph shows the projected elderly U.S. population for ages 65–84 and for ages 85 and older.The formula E = 5.8√x + 56.4 models the projected number of elderly Americans ages 65–84, E, in millions, x years after 2020.a. Use the formula to find the projected increase in the number of Americans ages 65–84, in millions, from 2030 to 2060. Express this difference in simplified radicalform.b.

Suppose classmates who graduated in 2004 compared their median incomes ten years later. The bar graph displays the median income, in thousands of dollars, for each classmate during the time intervals from 2005‑2009 and 2010‑2014. For the individual with the largest dollar value increase in median income over the two time intervals, determine the amount of increase.
