Try duziniarrow_forwardGo to the St. Louis Federal Reserve FRED databaseand find data on the M1 money supply (M1SL) andthe 10-year treasury bond rate (GS10). Add the twoseries into a single graph by using the “Add DataSeries” feature. Transform the M1 money supplyvariable into the M1 growth rate by adjusting theunits for the M1 money supply to “Percent Changefrom Year Ago.”a. In general, how have the growth rate of theM1 money supply and the 10-year treasurybond rate behaved during recessions andduring expansionary periods since the year2000?b. In general, is there an obvious, stable relationship between money growth and the10-year interest rate since the year 2000?c. Compare the money growth rate and the10-year interest rate for the most recentmonth available to the rates for January2000. How do the rates compare?arrow_forward
- U.S. Population Over Age 16 The table gives theprojections of the population, in millions, of U.S.residents over age 16 for selected years 2015 to 2060.a. Graph the data, with y equal to the population inmillions and x equal to the number of years after2010.b. Find a linear function that models the data, with yequal to the population in millions and x equal to thenumber of years after 2010.c. Graph the model and the data on the same axesand comment on the fit of the model to the data.d. What does the model predict that the populationwill be in 2042?e. In what year does the model predict that the population will be 336.827 million?arrow_forward10 T0 -8 -6 -4 -2 0 6 8 10 -2 -4 -6 -8 10 Slope = %3D 4. 2. doarrow_forwardSeveral functions represent different savings account plans.

- A manufacturer's suggested retail price for a base model 2022 Ford Bronco is $36, 450 and, with depreciation, the car is expected to be valued at $27200 in 5 years. Consider 2022 as year zero. a. Find a linear depreciation function for this car. b. Estimate the value of the car 9 years from year zero. c. At what rate is the car depreciating per year? d. According to this model, how many years will pass before the car is worth zero dollars, round to the nearest integer. e. Include a desmos graph with the linear function and the answer to part b, as an ordered pair, on your graph.arrow_forwardNonearrow_forwardYou are 3D printing six-sided dice for a Yahtzee tournament. After some research, you find out thatmost dice have a volume of 4 cm3each. An example of a single Yahtzee dice is illustrated below.Note that each side length, s, has the same measure.a(a) In the blank below, write the function that relates the volume of a single dice, V , and thedice’s side length, s.V (s) =(b) What is the perfect side length? i.e. What side length will result in a volume of 4 cm3? Youranswer should be written to 6 decimal places.s0=(c) Due to the nature of your 3D printer, the volume of each dice will be within 0.01 cm3 of 4cm3. Algebraically determine the interval around s0 that will ensure that correspondingoutput values are within 0.01 cm3 of 4 cm3. If you use decimals, your answer should bewritten to 6 decimal places.(d) What is the maximum amount of error that can occur on either side of s0 so that the volumevalues still lie within 0.01 of 4 cm3? (i.e. what is the δ value?) If you use decimals,…arrow_forward
