Question: The function that models the population (in thousands) of U.S. boys age 5 and under t years after 2010 is B(t) = -3.17t 2 +
The function that models the population (in thousands) of U.S. boys age 5 and under t years after 2010 is B(t) = -3.17t2 + 119t + 10253and a function that models the population (in thousands) of U.S. girls age 5 and under t years after 2010 is G(t) = -3.02t2 + 114t + 9802.
1) Find the equation that models the total estimated population (in thousands) of all U.S. children age 5 and under t years after 2010.
2) Use the equations given and the equation you found in part 2 to predict the number of boys, the number of girls and then the total number of children in the U.S. that are age 5 and under in a year of your choice (after 2010 but before 2021).
3) Go to the following websiteand determine the actual number of children in the U.S. that are age 5 and under in a year of your choice in part 2. (website data is added as a picture. below)
4) What does your answer in part 3 tell you about the validity of the model you found in part 1?
