29) A person's weight varies inversely as the square of the person's distance from the center of the Earth. If an astronaut weight 125 pounds on the surface of the Earth, how much will she weigh 150 miles above the surface of the Earth? Assume that the radius of the Earth is 4000 miles, and round your answer to the nearest tenth of a pound.

30) Brenda would like to have at least $300,000 saved for her daughter's college education. If she invests $92,000 in an education account paying 7.15% interest compounded monthly, will she reach her goal in 18 years? Show all work to justify your answer and include appropriate units.

31) The number of Apple stores in the world has been steadily increasing. In 2009, there were 273 Apple stores worldwide. By 2014, that number had increased to 437 stores. Let y be the number of Apple stores worldwide in the year x, where x = 0 represents the year 2009.

a) Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form that models the growth in the number of Apple stores worldwide in terms of x. [Hint: the line must pass through the points (0, 273) and (5, 437)].

b) Use this equation to predict the number of Apple stores worldwide in the year 2020. Round to the nearest whole number if necessary.

c) Explain what the slope for this line means in the context of the problem.
