From 1940 through 1996 in the United States, the age to which a newborn can expect to live, where t is the number of years since 1940, can be modeled by: f (t) = 1.78/t –0.3 + 62.7 a. According to the model, what is the life expectancy in at birth in 1940? . b. In what year was the life expectancy at birth 75.7 years?arrow_forwardIn Exercises 7–12, find the indicated derivatives. dr if r = s – 2s? + 3 8. dsarrow_forward
- People who believe in biorhythms claim that there are three cycles that rule our behavior—the physical, emotional, and mental. Each is a sine function of a certain period. The function for our emotional fluctuations is, E = sin πt/14. where t is measured in days starting at birth. Emotional fluctuations, E, are measured from -1 to 1, inclusive, with 1 representing peak emotional well-being, -1 representing the low for emotional well-being, and 0 representing feeling neither emotionally high nor low. Solve, a. Find E corresponding to t = 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35. Describe what you observe. b. What is the period of the emotional cycle?arrow_forwardThe graph of y=asinx that passes through the point (π/2,−2) has an amplitude of 2.
