For this case, the first thing we want to do is substitute the value of y = 15 in the equation.
We have then:
15 = -0.08x ^ 2 + 1.6x + 10
Rewriting we have:
0 = -0.08x ^ 2 + 1.6x + 10 - 15
0 = -0.08x ^ 2 + 1.6x - 5
The solutions are:
x1 = 3.876275643042054
x2 = 16.123724356957947
Nearest whole number:
x1 = 4
x2 = 16
were about 15 tons of trout caught in the lake in the years:
1995 + 4 = 1999
1995 + 16 = 2011
Answer:
The year 1999 and the year 2011
