jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if we're in the year 2000, then what must x be?

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I plug 2000 in for x right...? Or am I way off?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: x = 0 corresponds to the year 1990 since it says "x years after 1990"

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

What?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if we wanted to find the cumulative number of AIDS deaths in 1990, then we'd plug in x = 0 for 1991, we plug in x = 1 for 1992, we plug in x = 2 etc etc

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

So x=10 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes since 2000 is ten years after 1990

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

plug x = 10 into the f(x) function

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Okay.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

462,338

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Its correct. For g(x) i do the same correct?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

It is. Thank you.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
