1. The amount M (in trillions of dollars) of mortgage debt outstanding in the United States from 1990 through 2009 can be approximated by the function M represents the year 1990. (a) Describe the transformation of the common function f(x) = x². Then sketch the graph over the interval 0 sts 19. f(t) = 0.0037(t + 14.979), where t = 0 (b) Rewrite the function so that t 0 represents the year 2000. Explain how you got your answer. (c) Use the model from part (b) to predict the mortgage debt in the year 2014.
