Ok... so this question can be solved by using simultaneous equations. 

Use the general from of a parabola 

y = ax^2 + bx + c

you know the value of c, the y-intercept... y = -4

which means the equation is 

y = ax^2 + bx - 4

now use the other 2 points to get 2 equations in 2 unknowns

(-2, -20) just substitute 

-20 = (-2)^2a + (-2)b - 4  ~~~or~~~ -20 = 4a - 2b - 4

this becomes

4a - 2b = -16

now the other equation using (4, -20)

The simplified form is

ElenaW [278]
2 x 10⁶ gallons per day.

So if there was 6.7 days, it would produce 6.7 times the amount above.

So 6.7 × (2 × 10⁶) = 13.4 × 10⁶

We must rewrite in scientific notation, so:
13.4 x 10⁶ =
1.34 x 10⁷
