One proposed solution to the funding problems faced by Social Security and Medicare is to increase the retirement age from 67 to

70. Although this would mean billions of dollars in savings for these federal programs, an unintended consequence may be:
a. a decrease in life expectancy.b. an increase in the unemployment rate.c. an increased number of elderly people in the workforce.d. less incentive for people to work longer.e. an increased incentive for people to work longer.

Answer:

D. Less incentive for people to work longer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin with, social security programs in this context is aimed at insulating the work force against an unforeseen losses on earnings which may be caused by any eventualities.

From the case provided, we've established that a potent solution to the funding problem of the security plan is to increase the retirement age from 67 - 70. However, much ad this has the propensity to improve the funding gap, it comes with unintended consequence.

Option A posits that the increase in life expectancy is one of the unintended consequences. I posit that this is not true. On the other hand, this is not even a consequence, rather a positive posting. Also, increase in lifespan is caused by other factors that go beyond boosting the individual social security and medicare program.

Option B comments on an increased unemployment rate as an unintended consequence. This should not be. On the other hand, having billions of fund in a federal program should suggest an anticipated boost in government spending on critical infrastructure as a filip for improving the economic lives of the citizenry.

Option C comments on increase in number of elderly people in the workplace. Again, boosting the social security and medicare funding gap has nothing to do with the foregoing position. We want to believe this elderly ones are already in the workplace. Thus, it has no effect on general elderly people.

Option D states that less incentive for people to work longer. We must note that this people have been working for good part of their lives. Now, their retirement age has been increased from 67 - 70. Much as the security program is a good incentive, good percentage of individual's goes into. Now, there's is general increase in the funding level. The implication of this is that a old worker of such could be more interested in having the whole package which is believed to be ripe already, than working for more additional years.

Option E negates the foregoing reason. Hence, it is not part of the unintended consequence.

Answer: first one =109360044xy−36453348x−2, 2nd,=3037778998,last one,=1968480790

Step-by-step explanation:Evaluate for x=3x,y=6y−2

33x(2025186)(6y−2)−2

33x(2025186)(6y−2)−2

=109360044xy−36453348x−2

Evaluate for x=20,y=25

(3)(20)(2025186)(25)−2

(3)(20)(2025186)(25)−2

=3037778998

because 18 is by itself i just did Evaluate for x=18,y=18

(3)(18)(2025186)(18)−2

(3)(18)(2025186)(18)−2

=1968480790

Asap help.! Circle measurements
Margaret [11]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of x;

To get this, we simply use one of the circle angle and arc properties

Mathematically;

arc MN = 2 * arc MLN

3x + 22 = 134/2

That will be;

3x + 22 = 67

3x = 67-22

3x = 45

x = 45/3

x = 15

Find equations of the line that is parallel to the z-axis and passes through the midpoint between the two points (0, −4, 9) and
Lorico [155]

Answer: x = -4, y = 0.5, z = 5 +t

Hi!

The line L whose direction is parallel to vector V a passes through point A

is parametrized

P_L = Vt + A

Where t, is a real number, and P_L is a any point on line L.

In this case the direction is that of the z-axis , so V = (0, 0, 1)

A is the midpoint between points B = (0, -4, 9) and C=(-8, 5, 1)

The midpoint is A = (B + C)/2 = (-4, 0.5, 5)

Then the line is:

P_L = (0,0,1) t + (-4, 0.5, 5)

The equations for each coordinate are:

x = -4\\y = 0.5\\z = 5 + t

*MAJOR POINT BOOST*<br> describe the fibonacci sequence in a detailed explanation
Kryger [21]
The Fibonacci Sequence is a stream of numbers that typically begins with a "0" or "1". From there, any number placed after would be added to the previous number. 
For instance, if I started with a "1", and the next number was a "2", the number after would be a "3". From this "3", it would be a "5", the next number would then be a "8". 
It would look like this:
1, 2, 3, 5, 8
