Okay, so this is what I came to. I think that you might need to look through the placement of the problem again and your x's, but other than that, here it is!

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.425=−250x2+6250x

Step 2: Subtract -250x^2+6250x from both sides.425−(−250x2+6250x)=−250x2+6250x−(−250x2+6250x)250x2−6250x+425=0

Step 3: Use quadratic formula with a=250, b=-6250, c=425.x=−b±√b2−4ac2ax=−(−6250)±√(−6250)2−4(250)(425)2(250)x=6250±√38637500500x=252+110√15455 or x=252+−110√15455

Answer:x=252+110√15455 or x=252+−110√15455

Please help, 50 points! :) PDF attached below

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Attachment 1 : (a) Remember that it mentions x is the years since 1900. That would mean that the table is a bit different. To create this " new table " simply subtract 1900 from the years provided, and substitute.

To create this equation we will need a regression calculator. The equation will be as follows.

y = 0.125873x - 7.11916 ( note that you can double check this equation be substituting points from the table in the attachment )

(b) 2025 - 1900 = 126 years,

y = 0.125873(125) - 7.11916 = $ 8.614965

Minimum Wage : $ 8.614965

Attachment 2 : The rest of the problems can be solved similarly...

(a) Quadratic Regression Equation : - 0.49311x² + 23.2798x + 996.029

(b) - 0.49311(20)² + 23.2798(20) + 996.029 = 1264.381 mg/cm³

Attachment 3 : (a) Exponential Regression : 9.08292(1.09965)ˣ

(b) 9.08292(1.09965)⁶⁰ = $2713.27743\dots$ ( About 2713 recommendations )
