America is getting older. The graph shows thhe projected elderly U.S. population for ages 65–84 and for ages 85 and older.
The formula
a. Use the formula to find the projected increase in the number of Americans ages 65–84, in millions from 2020 to 2050. Express this difference in simplified radical form.
b. Use a calculator and write your answer in part (a) to the nearest tenth. Does this rounded decimal overestimate or underestimate the difference in the projected data shown by the bar graph on the previous page? By how much?

- Your cardiac index is your heart's output, in liters of blood per minute, divided by your body's surface area, in square meters. The cardiac index, C(x), can be modeled by 7.644 C(x) = 10 s xs 80, where x is an individual's age, in years. The graph of the function is shown. Use the function to solve Exercises 95–96. 7.644 C(x) = %3D 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Age 95. a. Find the cardiac index of a 32-year-old. Express the denominator in simplified radical form and reduce the fraction. b. Use the form of the answer in part (a) and a calculator to express the cardiac index to the nearest hundredth. Identify your solution as a point on the graph. 96. a. Find the cardiac index of an 80-year-old. Express the denominator in simplified radical form and reduce the fraction.
