Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Chapter 3.1, Problem 75E

World Population A low-projection scenario for world population for 1995–2150 by the United Nations is given by the function y = –0.36x2 + 38.52x + 5822.86, where x is the number of years after 1990 and the world population is measured in millions of people.

a.    Find the input and output at the vertex of the graph of this model.

b.    Interpret the values from part (a).

c.    For what years after 1995 does this model predict that the population will increase?
