Based on data from the U.S. Treasury Department, the federal debt (in trillions of dollars) for the years 1995 to 2004 was given approximately by the formula $$D(x)=4.95+.402 x-.1067 x^{2}+.0124 x^{3}-.00024 x^{4}$$ where $x$ is the number of years elapsed since the end of $1995 .$ Estimate the federal debt at the end of $1999(x=4)$ and the rate at which it was increasing at that time.

The total healthcare expenditures E in a certain country (in trillions of dollars) can be approximated by the equation: E = 0.123x + 1.517, where x is the number of years after 2000. Assuming the trend continues, determine the year in which healthcare expenditures are $4.592 trillion. What is the value of E?

Credit market debt. From 2005 to $2009,$ the annual rate of change in the national credit market debt, in billions of dollars per year, could be modeled by the function $$\mathrm{D}^{\prime}(t)=-810.3 t^{2}+1730.3 t+3648$$. where $t$ is the number of years since $2005 .$ (Source: Federal Reserve System.) Use the preceding information for What was the national credit market debt in $2009,$ given that $D(0)=41,267 ?$
