it has been found that the world record for the men's 10,000 meter run has been decreasing steadily since 1950. the record is approximately 28.7 minutes minus 0.05 times the number of years since 1950. assume the record continues to decrease in this way. predict what it will be in 2010.

28.7-(.05*60)

t = 28.7 - 0.05(year -1950)

t = 28.7 - (0.05)(60) yes

To predict the world record for the men's 10,000 meter run in 2010 using the given information, we can use the formula provided:

Record = 28.7 - 0.05 * (year - 1950)

Substituting the year 2010 into the formula, we have:

Record = 28.7 - 0.05 * (2010 - 1950)

First, let's calculate the number of years since 1950:

2010 - 1950 = 60

Now we can substitute this value into the formula:

Record = 28.7 - 0.05 * 60

Next, let's calculate the product of 0.05 and 60:

0.05 * 60 = 3

Now, we can substitute this result into the formula:

Record = 28.7 - 3

Finally, let's calculate the remaining subtraction:

Record = 25.7

Therefore, based on the given information, it is predicted that the world record for the men's 10,000 meter run in 2010 will be approximately 25.7 minutes.
