Suppose that the function represents the percentage of inbound e-mail in the U.S. that is considered spam, where x is the number of years after 2002.
Use this model to approximate the percentage of spam in the year 2006 to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Please show work.. Thank You!!!

You have not shown "the model" or any data upon which to make a prediction. I suspect that there was more to that question.
Sorry... the function is:
P = 11 + 44 1n x
P = 11 + 44 1n x
2006 is x =4 years after 2002
P = 11 + 44 ln 4 = 72.0%
The formula cannot work for many more years since P cannot exceed 100
P = 11 + 44 ln 4 = 72.0%
The formula cannot work for many more years since P cannot exceed 100
Thank you!!
