Answer:
the linear equation is :
y= -2625x+5737875
and 440000 employees will be in year 2271
Step-by-step explanation:
in order to find the linerar equation let us first convert the given data into (x,y ) co-ordinates i.e
x1= 1987 y1= 522,000
and
x2= 2003, y2 = 480000
according to two point form:

In this example we have x1=1987 , y1=522000 , x2=2003 and y2=480000. So,

now to find the year when there will be 440000 employs working , we simply put y= 440000 in the above derived equation

-6 is greater than 5 is wrong
Answer:
see attached
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the inverse function, solve ...
x = f(y)
x = (y^7)/7 -4 . . . . . . . use the definition of f(x)
x +4 = (y^7)/7 . . . . . . add 4
7(x +4) = y^7 . . . . . . multiply by 7
(7(x +4))^(1/7) = y . . take the 7th root
The inverse function is the one shown in the attachment.
It should be the 3rd one but idk for sure. if its not then its the 3rd one
