Answer:
A) The model exists: f(x) = -3x^2 +4x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic model will always exist for 3 given points, provided they are not on a line. In that case, a linear model is appropriate.
Here, the slope between -1 and 0 is positive, and the slope between 0 and 3 is negative. Thus, we know these points are not collinear, and a model must exist.
The model is most easily found using a quadratic regression tool. Such is shown in the attachment. It tells us that ...
f(x) = -3x^2 +4x -4
First, find out how much he made in the week total: 24($8.75) = $210
The, find 1.45% of 210: (.0145)(210) = 3.045
*note that 1.45% = .0145*
Round that number to 3.05 and you have your answer
