1969(10)-----837.4

1979(20)-----2312.9

1989(30)-----4884.1

1999(40)-----8428.3

2004(45)-----10,232.7

A)These data can be modeled by an exponental functon, wrte the equaton of ths functon, wth x as the number of years after 1959. Put number of years n parentheses. The equaton of the exponental functon that models the data s

Y=

(round to nearest 3 decmal places as needed, an example Y=337.906(1.084^x)

B) f Ths model s accurate, what wll be the countrys total personal ncome n 2009? To estmate the countrys total personal ncome for the year 2009, fnd the x-value for the year 2009. Recall that x s the number of years after 1959(50 years).

(an example of answer: Y=19,066.019)


C)n what year does the model predct the total personal ncome wll reach $21 trllon? Use table feaure of graphng utlty.

Year ____

Explanation / Answer

A) Y = 407.8(1.075^x) where x is the number of years past 1959


B) Year 2009

Y = 407.8(1.075^50) = 14,889.355
