(d) Estimate the vertex of this model and explain its meaning.

According to this model, in   there were about   thousand people below the poverty level in the United States which is a  —Select— maximum minimum .

 

(e) Use your graph to estimate when the number of people in the United States below the poverty level was 43 million.

According to the graph, in about   and again in   the number of people in the United States below the poverty level was 43 million.

7.)

The total number of people, in thousands, age 65 years old and over who were below the poverty level can be modeled by N(t) = −59(t − 12)2 + 3890

where N(t) represents the total number of people 65 years old and over in the United States who were below the poverty level, in thousands, t years since 1980.†

 

(a) How many people 65 years old and over were below the poverty level in 2000?

In 2000 there were   people 65 years old and over below the poverty level.

 

(b) When were there 1 million people 65 years old and over below the poverty level? (Hint: 1 million = 1000 thousand)

According to this model, there were 1 million people 65 years old and over below the poverty level in the years ___   (smaller value) and ____  (larger value).

 

(c) What is the vertex of this model, and what does it represent?

In about   there were   people 65 years old and over below the poverty level. This was the maximum number of people around this time.
