In 1995, the life expectancy of males in a certain country was 73.7 years. In 2002 it was 77.5 years. Let E represent life expectancy in year t and t represents the number of years since 1995

Question

E(t)=? t + ?
E (11) =? life expectancy of males in 2006

Answer 1

I don't know because I'm trying to figure it out now. Can someone please help me???????

Answer 2

the difference between 1995 and 2001 is 6 years, so you add 6 to 73.7 and you get
0.6t+73.7, that's the first set of answers. Next, you replace the t with the 11 to represent the difference between the next set of years (1995 to 2006) so the next set of answers is
E(11)= 79.2 because you simplify the years 0.5(11)+73.7 and that's how you get your answer :)

Answer 3

sorry about the mix up of 2001 and 2002, but the process is still the same
