- Which function has x-intercepts at −2π, −π, 0, π, 2π?arrow_forwardAmerica is getting older. The graph shows the projected elderly U.S. population for ages 65–84 and for ages 85 and older.The formula E = 5.8√x + 56.4 models the projected number of elderly Americans ages 65–84, E, in millions, x years after 2020.a. Use the formula to find the projected increase in the number of Americans ages 65–84, in millions, from 2030 to 2060. Express this difference in simplified radicalform.b. Use a calculator and write your answer in part (a) to the nearest tenth. Does this rounded decimal overestimate or underestimate the difference in the projected data shown by the bar graph ? By how much?arrow_forwardGraph the following function 1. (x – 5)² – 3 2. (-2x + 1)3 - 2arrow_forward
- The average amount A (in pounds per person) of fish and shellfish consumed in the UnitedStates during the period 1992–2001 can be modeled by A = (3.2x + 260)/(52x + 3800) where x is the number of years since 1992.Rewrite the model so that it has only whole number coefficients. Then simplify the model.arrow_forwardWhich function has x-intercepts at −3π/2,−π/2,π/2,-3π/2?arrow_forwardEXERCISE 2.9.3: Floor and ceiling functions. Compute the value of each expression.
