Using data starting with 1950 and projected to​ 2050, the number of women​ (in millions) in the workforce is given by the function Upper P equals 0.79 x plus 20.86​, where x equals the number of years after 1950.

The value of P when x=37 is enter your response here million.

1 answer

To find the value of \( P \) when \( x = 37 \), we can substitute 37 into the function:

\[ P = 0.79x + 20.86 \]

Substituting \( x = 37 \):

\[ P = 0.79(37) + 20.86 \]

Now, calculate \( 0.79 \times 37 \):

\[ 0.79 \times 37 = 29.23 \]

Now, add this value to 20.86:

\[ P = 29.23 + 20.86 = 50.09 \]

Thus, the value of \( P \) when \( x = 37 \) is approximately \( 50.09 \) million.
