Math Problem Statement
The table to right gives the projections of the population of a country from 2000 to 2100. Answer parts (a) through (c). Full data set
Year Population (millions) Year Population (millions) 2000 280.1 2060 440.2 2010 303.2 2070 466.1 2020 326.9 2080 506.2 2030 355.2 2090 538.5 2040 386.5 2100 577.1 2050 407.9 Question content area bottom Part 1 (a) Find a linear function that models this data, with x equal to the number of years after 2000 and f(x) equal to the population in millions. f(x)equals 2.945 x plus 269.827 (Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression. Round to three decimal places as needed.) Part 2 (b) Find f(70). f(70)equals 476 (Round to one decimal place as needed.) Part 3 State what does the value of f(70) mean. A. This will be the projected population in year 2170. B. This will be the projected population in year 2070. Your answer is correct. Part 4 (c) What does this model predict the population to be in 2080? The population in year 2080 will be enter your response here millions. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
