Suppose the labor force is 189 million of a possible 244 million working-age adults. The total number of unemployed is 15 million. What is the standard unemployment rate?

The standard unemployment rate is of 0.0794 = 7.94%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard unemployment rate, as a proportion, is the number of unemployed people divided by the size of the labor force.

In this question:

Labor force: 189 million

Number of unemployed people: 15 million

What is the standard unemployment rate?

15/189 = 0.0794

The standard unemployment rate is of 0.0794 = 7.94%.

step-by-step explanation:

let f (x ) is a function and c be a positive real number,   the graph of the function g (x ) = f (cx ) is represented as follows.

when, c > 1,   the function compresses it in the x - direction.

when, 0 < c < 1, the function stretches it.

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2.

the heighest power of x in g ( x ) = (9x )2 is 2, so the parent function is square function.

the equation of parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2 and the parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

so, the functions f and g have the following relationship.

g ( x ) = f ( 9x ).

compare the function g ( x ) = f ( 9x ) with g (x ) = f (cx ).

c = 9 ( > 1 ).

so, the function g (x ) = (9x )2 compresses it in the x - direction.
