(a)
Answer to Problem 16PT
The numbers of forms are declining with time.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The equation is given as,
Calculation:
The coefficient of the x is 0.98 which means that as the value of x increases, it decreases due to which y also decreases. The given expression states that the numbers of forms are declining with time.
Thus, the numbers of forms are declining with time.
(b)
To find: The rate at which number is declining
(b)
Answer to Problem 16PT
The rate at which number is declining is 1.99%
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The equation is given as,
Calculation:
Calculate the number of farms in 1960.
Calculate the number of farms in 1961.
Calculate the rate.
Thus, the rate at which number is declining is 1.99%
(c)
To find: The prediction when the number of farms less than 1 million.
(c)
