Question 251399: The life expectancy of Americans has been steadily increasing primarily due to medical advancements and awareness of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Life expectancies at birth for men and women can be modeled by the following functions:
W(x)= 0.126x + 76.74
M(x) = 0.169x + 69.11
W(x) represents the life expectancy of women and M(x) represents the life expectancy of men. The x represents the years since 1975. (x=0 corresponds to the year 1975, x=5 corresponds to 1980, and so on).
Complete the following table:
Counting the Years Year
1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000
x, years since 1975 0 5 10 15 20 25
W(x)
M(x)
