4. Last class, we did a power regression using years since 1900 and the equation of The power model was YearU.S. Population in millions 1950152.3 1960180.7 1970205.1 1980227.7 1990249.9 The number of automobiles A in the United States, in millions, is related to U.S. population P, in millions by the linear function A(P) =.59P – 36.7 Use the composite function to verify the number of automobiles in the United States in the year 2000. P(t) = 5.802(t.838 ) The table at right shows the population in the United States for the years indicated. Can we express the number of automobiles A in the United States as a function of years t since 1900? A(P(t)) =.59(5.802(t.838 )) – 36.7 or A = 3.423t.838 – 36.7 Approximately 125.6 million Based on the models, how many automobiles were in the U.S. in the year 2000? A = 3.423(100).838 – 36.7  125.6

5. Bald Eagles were once very common throughout most of the United States. Their population numbers have been estimated at 300,000 to 500,000 birds in the early 1700s. Their population fell to threatened levels in the continental U.S. of less than 10,000 nesting pairs by the 1950s. Bald eagles were officially declared an endangered species in 1967 in all areas of the United States. Below is a table indicating the estimated number of breeding pairs of bald eagles in the lower 48 states in various years.
