Question: EFFECT OF HOUSING STARTS ON JOBS The president of a major housing construction firm claims that the number of construction jobs created is given by
N(x) = 1.42x
where x denotes the number of housing starts. Suppose the number of housing starts in the next t mo is expected to be
x(t) = 7t2 + 140t + 700
3t2 + 80t + 550
Million units/year . Find an expression that gives the rate at which the number of construction jobs will be created t mo from now. At what rate will construction jobs be created 1 yr from now?
