Solve the problem.Suicide rates for children and teenagers are listed in the table below for various years. 
Let S = f(t) represent the suicide rate for children at t years since 1982.i) Find an equation for f following a square root model.ii) Find f(5). What does your result mean in terms of the situation?iii) Find t when f(t) = 5. What does your result mean in terms of the situation?iv) Find the S-intercept. What does your result mean in terms of the situation?
What will be an ideal response?
| i) | 0.6 + 0.42 |
between the ages of 5 and 19.
iii) t = 58.27; In 2040 there will be 5 suicides for every 100,000 children
between the ages of 5 and 19.
iv) (0, 0.42); In 1982 there were 42 suicides for every 10,000,000 children
between the ages of 5 and 19.
