Suppose that from 2020 to 2060, the number of females in the U.S. under the age of 18, in millions, can be modeled by N = 0.140x + 37.4 where x is the number of years after 2020. (a) Viewing N as a function of x, what is the slope m of the graph of this function? m = (b) Interpret the slope as a rate of change. Every year, the population of females in the U.S., under age 18, in millions, is predicted to increase by m. Every m years, the population of females in the U.S., under age 18, in millions, is predicted to increase by 1.

Can the average rate of change of an increasing function ever be negative?
The number of Americans age 65 or older can be modeled as n(x) = −0.00082x3 + 0.059x2 + 0.183x + 34.42 where output is measured in million people and x is the number of years since 2000, projections through 2050. What is the rate of change of the projected number in 2045? Calculate the percentage rate of change in the projected number in 2045.
