The line graphs in Figure show the percentages of marriages ending in divorce based on the wife’s age at marriage.Here are two mathematical models that approximate the data displayed by the line graphs:In each model, the variable n is the number of years after marriage and the variable d is the percentage of marriages ending in divorce.a. Use the appropriate formula to determine the percentage of marriagesending in divorce after 10 years when the wife is over 25 at the time ofmarriage.b. Use the appropriate line graph in Figure to determine the percentageof marriages ending in divorce after 10 years when the wife is over 25 at the time of marriage.c. Does the value given by the mathematical model underestimate or overestimate the actual percentage of marriages ending in divorce after10 years as shown by the graph? By how much?
During a diagnostic evaluation, a 33-year-old woman experienced a panic attack a few minutes after she had been asked to relax her whole body. The graph shows the rapid increase in heart rate during the panic attack. Solve,
a. For which time periods during the diagnostic evaluation was the woman’s heart rate increasing?
b. For which time periods during the diagnostic evaluation was the woman’s heart rate decreasing?
c. How many turning points (from increasing to decreasing or from decreasing to increasing) occurred for the woman’s heart rate during the first 12 minutes of the diagnostic evaluation?
d. Suppose that a polynomial function is used to model the data displayed by the graph using (time during the evaluation, heart rate). Use the number of turning points to determine the degree of the polynomial function of best fit.
e. For the model in part (d), should the leading coefficient of the polynomial function be positive or negative? Explain your answer.
