Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
ŷ = 739.49X + 4876.43
y = 6755.98 - 388.24x + 125.30x²
y = 5428.98(1.09)^x
B.)
Linear:
ŷ = 739.49(9) + 4876.43
y = 11531.8
Year 2010 ; x = 10
y = 739.49(10) + 4876.43
y = 12271.3
Year 2011 ; x = 11
y = 739.49(11) + 4876.43
y = 13010.8
Quadratic :
Year 2009 ; x = 9
y = 6755.98 - 388.24(9) + 125.30(9^2)
y = 13411.1
Year 2010 ; x = 10
y = 6755.98 - 388.24(10) + 125.30(10^2)
y = 15403.6
Year 2011 ; x = 11
y = 6755.98 - 388.24(11) + 125.30(11^2)
y = 17646.6
Exponential:
Year 2009 ; x = 9
y = 5428.98(1.09)^9
y = 11791.2
Year 2010 ; x = 10
y = 5428.98(1.09)^10
y = 12852.4
Year 2011 ; x = 11
y = 5428.98(1.09)^11

Using the online linear regression calculator :
The linear trend :
ŷ = 739.49X + 4876.43
Where x = year
With 2006 representing 1 ; and so on
Slope = m = 739.49
Intercept (c) = 4876.43
y = predicted variable
The quadratic model:
General form:
y = A + Bx + Cx²
y = 6755.98 - 388.24x + 125.30x²
The exponential model:
y = AB^x
y = 5428.98(1.09)^x

Answer:
c. t = 18; the Chang family has been driving for 18 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
D(t) = 2,280 - 60t
Find t when D(t) = 1,200
D(t) = 2,280 - 60t
1200 = 2280 - 60t
Subtract 2280 from both sides of the equation
1200 - 2,280 = 2280 - 60t - 2,280
- 1080 = - 60t
Divide both sides by -60
- 1080 / -60 = - 60t / -60
18 = t
t = 18
This means the Chang family has been driving for 18 hours
c. t = 18; the Chang family has been driving for 18 hours
