Using data and projections from 1950 to 2050, the number of women age 16 years and older (in millions) in a particular country's civilian labor can be modeled by the following, where x is the number of years after 1950. y = - 0.00008x^3 + 0.00602x^2 + 1.127x + 16.464 Use the model and a graphing utility to estimate when the number of women in the labor force reached 104 million. The model projects the civilian labor force to be 104 million in . (Round up to the nearest year.)

Use the following information. Projected from 1950 through 2010 , the total population $P$ and the male population $M$ of the United States (in thousands) can be modeled by the following equations, where $t$ is the number of vears since 1950 . Total population model: $P=2387.74 t+155,211.46$ Wale population model: $M=1164.16 t+75,622.43$ Find a model that represents the female population $F$ of the United States from 1950 through 2010 .

Use the following information. Projected from 1950 through 2010 , the total population $P$ and the male population $M$ of the United States (in thousands) can be modeled by the following equations, where $t$ is the number of vears since 1950 . Total population model: $P=2387.74 t+155,211.46$ Wale population model: $M=1164.16 t+75,622.43$ For the year 2010 , the value of $P$ is $298,475.86$ and the value of $M$ is $145,472.03$. Use these figures to predict the female population in 2010 .
The number of women in the workplace, based on data and projections from 1950 to 2050, can be modeled by a linear function. The number was 18.4 million in 1950 and is projected to be 81.6 million in 2030. Let x represent the years after 1950. a. Find a function that models the data b. Determine the y-intercept and the slope c. Interpret in the context of the problem what the y-intercept means and what the slope means. d. What is the projected number of women in the work force in 2002?
