Question 105

Multiple Choice

For the functions f(x) and g(x) , evaluate the indicated function.
-The amount of money, in billions of dollars, spent on health care that was covered by insurance in a certain country in a particular year can be approximated by the function f(x) = x2 + 14x + 279,
Where x represents the number of years after 2005. The amount of money, in billions of dollars,
Spent on health care that was paid out of pocket in a certain country in a particular year can be
Approximated by the function g(x) = 9x + 149, where again x represents the number of years after
2005. (i) Find (fg) (x) ( \mathrm { f } - \mathrm { g } ) ( \mathrm { x } ) . Explain, in your own words, what this function represents.
(ii) Find ( fg) (60) \mathrm { f } - \mathrm { g } ) ( 60 ) . Explain, in your own words, what this number represents.


A) (i) (fg) (x) =x223x428( \mathrm { f } - \mathrm { g } ) ( \mathrm { x } ) = \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } - 23 \mathrm { x } - 428 ; this is the difference between health-care costs that are paid out of pocket and those that are covered by insurance, in billions of dollars, xx years after 2005.2005 .
(ii) 1792 ; health-care costs covered by insurance will be $1,792,000,000,000\$ 1,792,000,000,000 less than health-care costs that are paid out of pocket in 2065.2065 .
B) (i) (fg) (x) =x2+5x+130( \mathrm { f } - \mathrm { g } ) ( \mathrm { x } ) = \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } + 5 \mathrm { x } + 130 ; this is the difference between health-care costs covered by insurance and health-care costs that are paid out of pocket, in billions of dollars, xx years after 2005.2005 .
(ii) 4030 ; health-care costs covered by insurance will be $4,030,000,000,000\$ 4,030,000,000,000 higher than health-care costs that are paid out of pocket in 2065.2065 .
C) (i) (fg) (x) =x2+5x+130( \mathrm { f } - \mathrm { g } ) ( \mathrm { x } ) = \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } + 5 \mathrm { x } + 130 ; this is the difference between health-care costs that are paid out of pocket and those that are covered by insurance, in billions of dollars, xx years after 2005 .
(ii) 4030 ; health-care costs covered by insurance will be $4,030,000,000,000\$ 4,030,000,000,000 less than health-care costs that are paid out of pocket in 2065.2065 .
D) (i) (fg) (x) =x223x428( \mathrm { f } - \mathrm { g } ) ( \mathrm { x } ) = \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } - 23 \mathrm { x } - 428 ; this is the difference between health-care costs covered by insurance and health-care costs that are paid out of pocket, in billions of dollars, xx years after 2005.2005 .
(ii) 1792 ; health-care costs covered by insurance will be $1,792,000,000,000\$ 1,792,000,000,000 higher than health-care costs that are paid out of pocket in 2065.2065 .
