Answer:
2019.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that for the years from 2002 and projected to 2024, the national health care expenditures H, in billions of dollars, can be modeled by
where t is the number of years past 2000.
To find the year in which national health care expenditures expected to reach $4.0 trillion (that is, $4,000 billion), we will substitute
in our given formula and solve for t as:




Take natural log of both sides:





So in the 18.5 years after 2000 the expenditure will reach 4 trillion.

Therefore, in year 2019 national health care expenditures are expected to reach $4.0 trillion.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
+ 6 = x ( subtract 6 from both sides )
= x - 6 ( square both sides )
x = (x - 6)² ← expand using FOIL
x = x² - 12x + 36 ( subtract x from both sides )
0 = x² - 13x + 36 , that is
x² - 13x + 36 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 4)(x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9
As a check
Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions.
x = 4
left side =
+ 6 = 2 + 6 = 8
right side = x = 4
Since 8 ≠ 4 then x = 4 is an extraneous solution
x = 9
left side =
+ 6 = 3 + 6 = 9
right side = x = 9
Thus the solution is x = 9 → B
