The life expectancy for females in a certain country born during 1980−1985 was approximately 75.2 years. This grew to 76 years during 1985−1990 and to 76.2 years during 1990−1995. Construct a model for this data by finding a quadratic equation whose graph passes through the points (0,75.2),(5,76),and (10,76.2). Use this model to estimate the life expectancy for females born between 1995 and 2000 and for those born between 2000 and 2005.
Let x be the number of years since 1980 and y be the life expectancy for a person born between (1980+x) and
(1980+x+5). Find a quadratic equation whose graph passes through the points (0,75.2), (5,76), and (10,76.2).
Y=?
According to the model, the life expectancy of a female born between 1995 and 2000 in this country is ___?_ years.
According to the model, the life expectancy of a female born between 2000 and 2005 in this country is __?__ years.
