i need help with math?

Question

You have been invited to present statistical information at a conference. To prepare, you must perform the following tasks:


1. The following data was retrieved from www.cdc.gov. It represents the number of deaths in the United States due to heart Disease and cancer in each of the years; 1985, 1990, 1995, and 2002.

Year

Disease Heart Disease Cancer

1985 771169 461563
1990 720058 505322
1995 737563 538445
2002 696,947 557,271




.Plot this data for each disease as points in a rectangular coordinate system.

.Using a smooth line, connect your data points for each disease.

On a separate graph, plot only the years 1985 and 2002 and connect the points with a straight line.

Calculate the slope of each line.

Write the equation of each line in the slope-intercept form.

Using the equations of each line, make a reasonable prediction as to the number of deaths we might expect in 2005 due to each of these medical conditions.

2. Please include a response to this two part follow-up question with your submission.

Can the graphs that you constructed be classified as functions? Explain.

Why is it reasonable that negative numbers are excluded from both the domain and the range of each of the disease graphs? What would the real-world implications be if these numbers were actually part of the domain and/or range?

Answer 1

You seriously want the data plotted for you? Do your own homework.

Answer 2

1985, 771169, 461563
1990, 720058, 505322
1995, 737563, 538445
2002, 696947, 557271

D(H) = - 4,366(Y - 1985) + 771,169
D(C) = 5,630(Y - 1985) + 461,563

for 2005,
D(H) = 683,849
D(C) = 574,160
