Over twenty years, it was found that the number of doctors of medicine, MD (in thousands), in the United States can be approximated by MD=(28,390+693t)/(85-t) where t=0 represents 1980. The number of doctors of osteopathy, DO (in thousands), can be approximated by DO=(776-12t)/(65-2t) .

Write an expression for the total number I of doctors of medicine (MD) and doctors of osteopathy (DO). Simplify the result.

The expression for the total number of doctors is [tex]\frac{-1374t^2+43192.22t+67805.35}{(65-2t)(85-t) }[/tex]

We have to write an expression for the number of MD and DO

a. MD + DO

[tex]\frac{28390+693t}{85-t} +\frac{776-12t}{65-2t}[/tex]

This can be simplified as

[tex]\frac{(28390+693t)(65-2t)+(776-12t)(85-t) }{(85-t)(65-2t) }[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{-1374t^2+43192.22t+67805.35}{(65-2t)(85-t) }[/tex]

b. If t = 0 in 1980, in 2010, t = 30

The number of MD would be

[tex]\frac{28390+693*30}{85-30} \\= 379[/tex]

The number of DO would be

[tex]\frac{776-12*30}{65-2*30}\\\\= 83[/tex]
