Incidence of breast cancer. The following graph (considered in Exercise 28 of Exercise Set R.1 without an equation) approximates the incidence of breast cancer I, per 100,000 women, as a function of age x. The equation for this graph is
(Source: Based on data from the National Cancer Institute)
a. Use the graph to determine the domain of I.
b. Use the graph to determine the range of I.
c. What 10-yr age interval sees the greatest increase in the incidence of breast cancer? Explain how you determined this.
d. Approximately

- 3. Mary needs to choose between two investments: One pays 5% compounded annually, and the other pays 4.9% compounded monthly. If she plans to invest $22,000 for 3 years, which investment should she choose? How much extra interest will she earn by making the better choice? For all word problems, your solution must be presented in a sentence in the context of the problem.arrow_forward4 πT14 Sin (X) 3 Sin(2x) e dx 1716 S (sinx + cosx) dxarrow_forwardLet g(x) = f(t) dt, where f is the function whose graph is shown. 3 y f(t) MA t (a) At what values of x do the local maximum and minimum values of g occur?

Label three points on the graph (one should be the intercept) with corresponding ordered pairs (round to one decimal place) and label the asymptote with its equation. Write the domain and range of the function in interval notation. Make your graph big enough to see all important features.
