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 = f(t) = 0.0037(t + 14.979)", where t = 0 represents the year 1990. (a) Describe the transformation of the common function f(x) = x? Then sketch the graph over the interval 0 < t < 19. (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

In this problem you are asked to find a function that models in real life situation and then use the model to answer questions about the guidelines on page 273 to help you. Minimizing Time A man stands at a point A on the bank of a straight river, 2 mi wide. To reach point B, 7 mi downstream on the opposite bank, he first rows his boat to point Pon the opposite bank and then walks the remaining distances x to B, as shown in the figure. He can row at a speed or 2 mi/h and walk as a speed of mi/h (a) Find a function that models the time needed for the trip. (b) Where should he land so that he reaches B as soon as possible?
