Question 1173906: The number of women and men enrolled in college can be modeled by the functions
W
(
t
)
and
M
(
t
)
, respectively.
W
(
t
)
=
13.3
t
+
2410

M
(
t
)
=
14.9
t
+
2070

where
t
is the number of years since 1990 and both
W
and
M
are in thousands.
(a) If
E
(
t
)
is the total enrollment in college for both women and men in thousands
