Chapter 1.1, Problem 16E
The expenditure on education in the U.S. is given in the following table. (Amounts are expressed in millions of 2001 constant dollars.)
(a) Let
(b) Is spending on education in the U.S. rising exponentially fast? If so, what is the growth-rate coefficient? [Hint: Use your solution to part (a).]

I have 15 outfits to select from to pack for my business trip. I would like to select three of them to pack in my suitcase. How many packing possibilities are there?

Use the Euclidean algorithm to find two sets of integers (a, b, c) such
that
55a65b+143c:
Solution
= 1.
By the Euclidean algorithm, we have:
143 = 2.65 + 13 and 65 = 5.13, so 13 = 143 – 2.65.
-
Also, 55 = 4.13+3, 13 = 4.3 + 1 and 3 = 3.1,
so 1 = 13 — 4.3 = 13 — 4(55 – 4.13) = 17.13 – 4.55.
Combining these, we have:
1 = 17(143 – 2.65) - 4.55 = −4.55 - 34.65 + 17.143,
so we can take a = − −4, b = −34, c = 17. By carrying out the division
algorithm in other ways, we obtain different solutions, such as
19.55 23.65 +7.143, so a = = 9, b -23, c = 7.

[Note that 13.55 + 11.65 - 10.143 0, so we can obtain new solutions by
adding multiples of this equation, or similar equations.]
