The bar graph shows changes in the percentage of collegegraduates for Americans ages 25 and older from 1999 to 2015Exercises 125-126 involve developing arithmetic sequences thatmodel the data
126. In 1999, 24.4% of American men ages 25 and older hadgraduated from college. On average, this percentage hasincreased by approximately 0 3 each year.
a. Write a formula for the nth term of the arithmeticsequence that models the percentage of American menages 25 and older who had graduated from collegen years after 1989.
b. Use the model from part (a) to project the percentage of American men ages 25 and older who will be collegegraduates by 2029.

Define f: ZZ and 9: ZZ by f(x)=3x+1 and g(x) = x². (a) Calculate (go f)(2). (b) Find an explicit formula for the function gof. Define f: R2 R2 by f(x, y) = (3x+y, 5x+2y). Give an explicit formula for f-1. Verify that it is the inverse of f. Do not include a derivation for f¹ unless it is for the verification.arrow_forwardSuppose that two toothpaste companies compete for customers in a fixed market in which each customer uses either Brand A or Brand B. Suppose also that a market analysis shows that the buying habits of the customers fit the following pattern in the quarters that were analyzed: each quarter (three-month period), 30% of A users will switch to B, while the rest stay with A. Moreover, 40% of B users will switch to A in a given quarter, while the remaining B users will stay with B. Finally assume that this pattern does not vary from quarter to quarter. (a) If A initially has all of the customers, what are the market shares 2 quarters later? (b) If A initially has all of the customers, what are the market shares 20 quarters later? (c) If B initially has all of the customers, what are the market shares 2 quarters later? (d) If B initially has all of the customers, what are the market shares 20 quarters later?arrow_forward
- 1. The regular representation of a finite group G is a pair (Vreg, Dreg). Vreg is a vector space and Dreg is a homomorphism. (a) What is the dimension of Vreg? (b) Describe a basis for Vreg and give a formula for Dreg. Hence explain why the homo- morphism property is satisfied by Dreg. (c) Prove that the character ✗reg (g) defined by tr Dreg (g) is zero if g is not the identity element of the group. (d) A finite group of order 60 has five irreducible representations R1, R2, R3, R4, R5. R₁ is the trivial representation. R2, R3, R4 have dimensions (3,3,4) respectively. What is the dimension of R5? Explain how your solution is related to the decomposition of the regular representation as a direct sum of irreducible representations (You can assume without proof the properties of this decomposition which have been explained in class and in the lecture notes). (e) A group element has characters in the irreducible representations R2, R3, R4 given as R3 R2 (g) = -1 X³ (g) = −1 ; XR4 (g) = 0…arrow_forwardit's not algebra 4th gradearrow_forwardNot use ai pleasearrow_forward
