The number N, in millions, of hearing impaired individuals of age xcan be approximated by N=-0.00006x^3+0.006x^2-0.1x+1.4. Approximate to the nearest million the number of hearing impaired individuals of ages 40 and 55.

N=-0.00006x^3+0.006x^2-0.1x+1.4.

N(40)=N=-0.00006-40^3+0.006*40^2-0.1*40+1.4

=-3.84+9.6-4+1.4

=3.16.

=14.84.

N(55)=-0.00006-55^3+0.006*55^2-0.1*55+1.4

=9.9825+18.15-5.5+1.4

=4.0675.
