The population of a city in 2001 was 177,536 people. By 2010, the population of the city had grown to 189,793. (a) Assuming the population grows linearly, find the linear model, y=mx+b, representing the population x year since 2000. (round m and b to 3 decimal places) (b) Using the linear model from part (a), estimate the population in 2025. (round to the nearest whole number)

The wholesale price for chicken in the United States fell from 25¢ per pound to 14¢ per pound, while per capita chicken consumption rose from 22 pounds per year to 27.5 pounds per year. Assuming that the demand for chicken depends linearly on the price, what wholesale price for chicken maximizes revenues for poultry farmers, and what does that revenue amount to?
The population of a country will quadruple in 4 years. If its current population is 15000, what will the country's approximate population be 2 years from now? Assume the population grows linearly.
According to a sleep foundation, in 2011 a certain nation averaged 6.3 hours of sleep each weeknight. In 1918, they averaged about 8 hours and 15 minutes of sleep per weeknight. Model these data by a linear equation, and use it to predict the year when the nation will not be sleeping at all on a weeknight. Model these data by a linear equation, assuming that the initial year is t=0.
As a result of urbanization, the temperatures in Paris have increased. In 1891 the average daily minimum and maximum temperatures were 5.8°C and 15.1°C, respectively. Between 1891 and 1968, these average temperatures rose 0.019°C/yr and 0.011°C/yr, respectively. Assuming the increases were linear, find the year when the difference between the minimum and maximum temperatures was 9C, and determine the corresponding average maximum temperature.
