Using data starting with 1950 and projected to 2050 , the number of women (in millions) in the workforce is given by the function
P=0.79x+20.86
, where
x
equals the number of years after 1950 . (a) Find the value of
P
when
x=50
. Explain what this means. (b) What value of
x
represents 2020 ? Use the model to find the number of women in the workforce in 2020 . (a) The value of
P
when
x=50

P
? A. The value of
P
represents the number of women who will join the work force between the years 1950 and 2000. B. The value of
P
represents the number of women in the workforce in the year 2000 . C. The value of
P
represents the number of women in the workforce in the year 1950 . D. The value of
P
represents the number of women who will join the work force between the years 1900 and 1950 . (b) The value of
