Solve the problem.The rates of death (in number of deaths per 100,000 population) for 1-4 year olds in the United States between 1980-1995 are given below. (Source: NCHS Data Warehouse) A logarithmic equation that models this data is y = 822.99 - 167.55 ln x where x represents the number of years since 1900. Use this equation to predict the rate of death for 1-4 year olds in 2005.

What will be an ideal response?


43.2 deaths per 100,000

Solve the problem.Newton's Law of Cooling states that the rate of change of temperature of an object is proportional to the difference in temperature between the object and the surrounding medium. Thus, if T is the temperature of the object after t hours and T0 is the (constant) temperature of the surrounding medium, thenwhere k is a constant. A cup of coffee with a temperature of 101°F is placed in a freezer with a temperature of 0°F.
