(a)
To calculate: The function for the instantaneous rate of change of Alzheimer’s disease
(b)
To calculate: The instantaneous rate of change of the percent of the U.S population with Alzheimer’s disease in 2025 and estimate its interpretation also, if the baby boomer generation ages and the proportion of the U.S. population over 65 increases, the number of Americans with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia is projected to grow each year. With data from the Social Security Alzheimer’s Association for selected years from 2000 and projected to 2050, the Alzheimer’s can be modeled by

- What does the y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation correspond to for a population modeled by that equation?arrow_forwardDoes a linear, exponential, or logarithmic model best fit the data in Table 2? Find the model.arrow_forwardExplain why the values of an increasing exponentialfunction will eventually overtake the valuesof anincreasing linear function.arrow_forward
- Does Table 1 represent a linear function? If so, finda linear equation that models the data.arrow_forwardEnter the data from Table 2 into a graphing calculator and graph the ranking scatter plot. Determine whetherthe data from the table would likely represent a function that is linear, exponential, or logarithmic.arrow_forwardTable 2 shows a recent graduate’s credit card balance each month after graduation. a.
