. Doctorates The number of new doctorates in mathematics employed in academic positions per yearcan be modeled by y = 28.5x + 50.5, where x is thenumber of years after 2000.a. If the model is accurate, algebraically determinethe year in which the number of these doctoratesemployed was 250.b. Use a graph to verify your answer to part (a).c. Use your graph to find when the number of thesedoctorates employed was below 250 per year.
Transformation of Graphs
The word ‘transformation’ means modification. Transformation of the graph of a function is a process by which we modify or change the original graph and make a new graph.
Exponential Functions
The exponential function is a type of mathematical function which is used in real-world contexts. It helps to find out the exponential decay model or exponential growth model, in mathematical models. In this topic, we will understand descriptive rules, concepts, structures, graphs, interpreter series, work formulas, and examples of functions involving exponents.
. Doctorates The number of new doctorates in mathematics employed in academic positions per year
can be modeled by y = 28.5x + 50.5, where x is the
number of years after 2000.
a. If the model is accurate, algebraically determine
the year in which the number of these doctorates
employed was 250.
b. Use a graph to verify your answer to part (a).
c. Use your graph to find when the number of these
doctorates employed was below 250 per year.
