Find the slope m and y-intercept b of the line whose equation is given below.
A)
B)
C)
D)
E) Both m and b are undefined.
Suppose the number y of medical degrees conferred in the United States can be
modeled by for , where t is the time in
years, with corresponding to 1975. Use the test for increasing and decreasing
functions to estimate the years during which the number of medical degrees is
increasing and the years during which it is decreasing.
A) The number of medical degrees is increasing from 1975 to 1992 and 2000 to 2005,
and decreasing during 1992 to 2000.
B) The number of medical degrees is increasing from 1975 to 1991 and 1999 to 2005,
and decreasing during 1991 to 1999.
C) The number of medical degrees is increasing from 1975 to 1992 and 1999 to 2005,
and decreasing during 1992 to 1999.
D) The number of medical degrees is increasing from 1975 to 1993 and 1999 to 2005,
and decreasing during 1993 to 1999.
E) The number of medical degrees is increasing from 1975 to 1992 and 1998 to 2005,
