U.S. Population The number of White non-Hispanicindividuals in the U.S. civilian non-institutional population 16 years and older was 153.1 million in 2000and is projected to be 169.4 million in 2050.(Source: U.S. Census Bureau)a. Find the average annual rate of change in population during the period 2000–2050, with the appropriate units.b. Use the slope from part (a) and the population in2000 to write the equation of the line associatedwith 2000 and 2050.c. What does this model project the population to bein 2020?
I used a function to model data from 1990 through 2015. The independent variable in my model represented the number of years after 1990, so the function’s domain was {x| x = 0, 1, 2, 3, ......, 25}.Determine whether the statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning.
