Solve the problem.
-The number of men dying of AIDS (in thousands) since 1987 is modeled by $y = 17.3 + 10.06 ( \ln x )$, where $x$ represents the number of years after 1987. Use this model to predict the number of AIDS deaths among men in 1994. Express answer rounded to the nearest hundred men.
A) 36,900
B) 26,000
C) 37,000
D) 25,800

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of years after 1987 is 1994 - 1987 = 7. So, $x = 7$. Substituting this value into the model, we get $y = 17.3 + 10.06 (\ln 7) \approx 36,900$.

Solve the Problem y=17.3+10.06(ln⁡x)y = 17.3 + 10.06 ( \ln x )y=17.3+10.06(lnx)

Solve the Problem $y = 17.3 + 10.06 ( \ln x )$
