The following bar graph shows U.S. math SAT scores as a function of household income.† A bar graph has a horizontal axis labeled Family income ($1,000) and a vertical axis labeled Math S A T. The bar graph has 9 bars. Each bar is associated with a label and an approximate value as listed below. 0–20: 457 20–40: 475 40–60: 497 60–80: 512 80–100: 528 100–120: 538 120–140: 542 140–160: 550 160–200: 554 These data can be modeled by S(x) = 573 − 33e−0.0131x, where S(x) is the average math SAT score of students whose household income is x thousand dollars per year.

Question

The following bar graph shows U.S. math SAT scores as a function of household income.†

A bar graph has a horizontal axis labeled Family income ($1,000) and a vertical axis labeled Math S A T. The bar graph has 9 bars. Each bar is associated with a label and an approximate value as listed below.
  • 0–20: 457
  • 20–40: 475
  • 40–60: 497
  • 60–80: 512
  • 80–100: 528
  • 100–120: 538
  • 120–140: 542
  • 140–160: 550
  • 160–200: 554
These data can be modeled by
S(x) = 573 − 33e−0.0131x,
where S(x) is the average math SAT score of students whose household income is x thousand dollars per year.
Calculate
lim x→+∞ S(x).
(If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
 
Interpret the answer.
Students whose parents earn an exceptionally large income score an average of on the SAT math test.
