dollars) was $1200 in 2004. It had steadily grown to $2116 in 2013, suggesting that the country had
grown at approximately 5.8% annually over the decade if the growth rate were constant. However,
over the next 5 years, it had steadily declined to $2058 in 2017. Therefore, over the 5-year period
2013-2017, the country had declined at approximately
O a. 0.55% annually
O b. 5.5% annually
Oc. 2.8% annually
O d. 0.28% annually
21. Gross domestic product. The U.S. gross domestic prod-
Luct, in billions of current dollars, may be modeled by the
function
P(x) = 367 + x(36x0.6 – 104),
where x is the number of years since 1960. (Source: U.S.
Bureau for Economic Analysis.) Use P'(x) to estimate
how much the gross domestic product increased from
2014 to 2015.
