The gross domestic product (GDP; in trillions of dollars) for Country A and Country B can be approximated as follows, where x = 60 corresponds to the year 1960. Country A: f(x) = 0.00012(1.101)^x Country B: g(x) = 0.0148(1.829)^x Find the projected GDP in 2011 and 2028 for Country A.

Step 1
Since x = 60 corresponds to the year 1960, we can find the value of x for any year by subtracting 1960 from the year. So, for 2011, x = 2011 - 1960 = 51. For 2028, x = 2028 - 1960 = 68. Show more…

Gross domestic product. The U.S. gross domestic product, in billions of current dollars, may be modeled by the function $$P(x)=567+x\left(36 x^{0.6}-104\right)$$ where $x$ is the number of years since $1960 .$ (Source: U.S. Bureau for Economic Analysis.) Use $P^{\prime}(x)$ to estimate how much the gross domestic product increased from 2009 to 2010

Marginals and Differentials
The gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States for 2001 through 2005 is modeled by $G=0.0026 x^{2}-7.246 x+14,597.85$ where $G$ is the GDP (in billions of dollars) and $x$ is the capital outlay (in billions of dollars). Use differentials to approximate the change in the GDP when the capital outlays change from $\$ 2100$ billion to $\$ 2300$ billion.
