Although social security is a problem, some projections indicate that there's
a much bigger time bomb ticking in the federal budget, and that's medicare.
in 2000, the cost of social security was 5.48% of the gross domestic product,
increasing by 0.04% of the gdp per year. in 2000, the cost of medicare was
1.84% of the gross domestic product, increasing by 0.17% of the gdp per year.
a). write a function that models the cost of social security as a percentage of the
gdp x years after 2000.
b). write a function that models the cost of medicare as a percentage of the gdp x
years after 2000.
c). in which year will the cost of medicare and social security be the same?
for that year, what will be the cost of each program as percentage of the gdp?
which program will have the greater cost after that year?

17

step-by-step explanation:

51/3=17

thus 17 is your answer.

add the numbers under frequency to find the total number:

5 + 8 +7 + 4 + 0 +1 = 25

the answer is 25.

3.73 * 10^7 is the anser for ttm ur welcome < 3

step-by-step explanation:

the given growth  function for the length of the fish (cm) is

f(m) = 5(1.07)m = 5.35m

where 

m = months

at the end of the study, the length is 9.19 cm. the  time for conducting the study is determined as

5.35m = 9.19

m = 1.7178 months

part a.

the study was performed over a time period  of about 1.72 months. therefore  the domain for  plotting the function is 0 < = m < = 1.72.

note:

if growth  continues at this rate for up to m months, then the domain would be 0< =m< =m.

part b.

the growth function is a linear function.

when m=0, f=0.

therefore the initial growth is zero, which represents the y-intercept.

part c.

assume that the growth function is valid for 0< =m< =9.

the average rate of change of the function is the slope of the linear function, which is 5.35 cm/month.
