Population Aging The following table shows the percentage of U.S. residents over the age of 65 in 1950, 1960, …, 2010:38
Year t (years since 1900) | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 | 100 | 110 |
Percentage P over 65 (%) | 8.2 | 9.2 | 9.9 | 11.3 | 12.6 | 12.6 | 13 |
a. Find the logarithmic regression model of the form
b. In 1940, 6.9% of the population was over age 65. To how many significant digits does the model reflect this figure?
c. Which of the following is correct? The model, if extrapolated into the indefinite future, predicts that
(A) The percentage of U.S. residents over the age of 65 will increase without bound.
(B) The percentage of U.S. residents over the age of 65 will level off at around 14.2%.
(C) The percentage of U.S. residents over the age of 65 will eventually decrease.

- Rylee's car is stuck in the mud. Roman and Shanice come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck starts to pull. Meanwhile, Roman and Shanice get behind the car and push. The truck generates a horizontal force of 377 lb on the car. Roman and Shanice are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate a force of 119 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The angle between these vectors is 20.2°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude and its direction angle from the positive x-axis. 119 lb 20.2° 377 lbarrow_forwardAn airplane flies due west at an airspeed of 428 mph.
