Civil Engineering—City Growth: A city planner has projected that the population of a newly developed suburb will grow for the next four years according to the mathematical model

f(x) = 10,000 + 20x 3/2 + 30x 0 ≤ x ≤ 48

where x is the number of months from the present, and f(x) is the suburb’s population.

(a) Evaluate f(12) and interpret.


(b) Find the slope of the secant line for x = 12 and Δx = 24 and interpret.
