Health care costs The U.S. total annual health care costs (actual and projected, in billions of dollars) for selected years are given in the table. These costs can be modeled by
Year | Cost | Year | Cost |
2003 | 1778 | 2015 | 3244 |
2006 | 2167 | 2018 | 3785 |
2009 | 2506 | 2021 | 4543 |

- The population Pinmillions of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?arrow_forward(a) The volume (growth) of the tumor can be found by integrating the function g (t) with respect to time t. Explain in your own words why this is so. (b) Use the symbols t1 and t2 as the lower and upper bounds of the integral respectively. If t1 is initialized as t1 = 0, calculate what will the value of t2 be? (c) Using your answer in part (b), write down the definite integral that will be used to calculate the volume (growth) of the tumor. (d) Solve the definite integral with an appropriate substitution. (e) State in English what the value of your answer in part (e) describes.arrow_forwardNew York students must attend t hours, where t ∈ [0,H], of lectures and pass two quizzes to be in good standing for their examination. The number of students who attended between t1 and t2 hours of lectures is described by the integral shown in the image below. As a result of COVID-19, some students attended less than H/2 hours of lectures before the college was closed down and passed the quizzes so they are qualified to take the examination. Find the ratio of students who attended less than H/2 hours of lectures Kindly give step by step solutions.Also the answer should be in the most final ratio form.arrow_forward
