Computer usage has increased over time. But has the increase been more linear or more exponential? In 1997, 22.2% of the populat
ion over three years of age, or about 60 million people, used the internet. In 1998, 32.7% of the population over three years of age, or about 90 million people, used the internet. a. If the usage increased linearly, write the linear function that would give 60 million people in year 0 and 90 million in year 1.
Solve for w: p = (1.2 w)/h^2 (1.2 w)/h^2 = (6 w)/(5 h^2): p = (6 w)/(5 h^2) p = (6 w)/(5 h^2) is equivalent to (6 w)/(5 h^2) = p: (6 w)/(5 h^2) = p Multiply both sides by (5 h^2)/6: Answer: w = (5 h^2 p)/6
