g In the year 2005, the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 Americans for heart disease was 222.3. In the year 2009, the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 Americans for heart disease had changed to 213.4. a) Find an exponential model for this data, where t

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

In the year 2005, the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 Americans for heart disease was 222.3. In the year 2009, the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 Americans for heart disease had changed to 213.4.

a) Find an exponential model for this data, where t = 0 corresponds to 1999

the exponential model for this data will be; y = 222.3( 0.9898 )^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

{ 2005 }, at t = 0, death rate was 222.3

In 2009, { 2009 - 2005 = 4 }, at t = 4 death rate was 213.4

Now, let the exponential equation be;

y = ab^(t)

so at t = 0

222.3 = a × b^(0)

222.3 = a × 1

a = 222.3

at t = 4

213.4 = a × b^(4)

213.4 = 222.3 × b^(4)

b⁴ = 213.4 / 222.3

b = (  213.4 / 222.3 )^(1/4)

b = 0.9898

y = ab^(t)

Hence, the exponential model for this data will be; y = 222.3( 0.9898 )^t
