Based on the current eligibility requirement, a study conducted in 2004 showed that federal spending on entitlement programs, pa

rticularly Medicare, would grow enormously in the future. The study predicted that spending on Medicare, as a percentage of the gross domestic product (GDP), will be P(t) = 0.27t^2 + 1.4t + 2.1 (0 <= t <= 5) percent in year t, where t is measured in decades, and t = 0 corresponds to 2000. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

Answer:

A) 2.9% of GDP

B) 8.73% of GDP

Step-by-step explanation:

A) To find the rate of spending, let's find the derivative of the function

P(t) = 0.27t² + 1.4t + 2.1 (0 <= t <= 5)

So,

dP/dt = 0.54t + 1.4 which is the annual growth rate.

Since t is measured in decades, thus in 2030 ,it will have been 3 decades, so we have t = 3

So, at t=3; dp/dt = 0.5(3) + 1.4 = 1.5 + 1.4 = 2.9 which means spending in 2030 will be growing at rate of 2.9%

B) The predicated spending is;

P(t) = 0.27t² + 1.4t + 2.1

Thus, in 2030, will be 3 decades so, t= 3

Thus;

P(3) = 0.27(3²) + 1.4(3) + 2.1 = 8.73 which is 8.73% of GDP

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours bowled by Isaiah and Wanda be X

Isaiah spent 16 dollars on shoe rental and 2X on bowling

Wanda spent 13 dollars on shoe rental and 5X on bowling

Since they spent the same amount, set up an equation

16+2X=13+5X

subtract 2X on either side, then subtract 13 from either side we get

3X=3

divide both sides by 3

X=1

Sean read 15 of a book in 112 hours.
makvit [3.9K]
Sean read 15 of a book in = 112 hours, 
so, 1 of a book in = 112/15

Now, 12 of a book would be: 112/15 * 12 = 112/5 * 4 = 89.6

89.6 = 89 6/10 = 89 3/5

In short, Your Answer would be 89 3/5 hours

Hope this helps!
