Question

T=(N-3.99) / 0.17
n is the number of women enrolled ( in millions)
t represent the number of years

Use the new formula in part b to estimate the year in which women's enrollment will reach 13 million

Answer 1

I did that but it came out weird numbers instead of the year

Answer 2

What does the 3.99 mean, what does 0.17 mean

Answer 3

What is part a

Answer 4

You need to give us all the information

Answer 5

well the original formula is n=0.17t + 3.99

Answer 6

but they asked me to solve for t using the equation n=0.17t + 3.99 in part b

Answer 7

This is all vague, you're just throwing out formulas and not explaining what they are

Answer 8

okay let me send a pic

Answer 9

Alright

Answer 10

Oh I see...

Answer 11

n = 13

Answer 12

Because it states its in millions

Answer 13

And initially your year is 1970, I can't really read it as it's a very blurry pic

Answer 14

Yeah so all you have to do is plug in n = 12 as it's asking for that, and then you will get a number of years, and you add that to your initial year which is 1970 that will give you the year where 12 million woman were in college.

Answer 15

You can test with the other results as well to make sure, try n = 10, you will see you get 2005.

Answer 16

Make sense?

Answer 17

oh okay I got it. thank you very much

Answer 18

For example \[N=0.17t+3.99\] lets make n = 10 this means 10 million woman
\[10=0.17t+3.99 \implies t = \frac{ 10-3.99 }{ 0.17 } = 35\] 1970+35 = 2005

Answer 19

yea I got 2017 for the answer. thank you again ~

Answer 20
