The # of taxi accidents is approximated by y = -143.3x^2 + 1823.3x + 6820 and the # of injuries is approximated by y = -416.72x^
2 + 4416.7x+ 8500. Let x = 0 represents 1990, x = 1 represents 1991, and so on. According to the equation for the # of accidents, if the trend continued, how many taxi accidents occurred in 1999 and injuries in 1999?
To analyze the problem first is to arrange the equations according to their uses: # of taxi accident y = -143.3X^2+1823.3x+6820 # of injuries y = -416.72X^2+4416.7x+8500 So the answer if X = 9 will be represented by 1999 # of taxi accident y = 11622.4 # of injuries y = 14495.98 I hope you understand the answer and feel free to ask for more.
I believe the answer would be $12.50. multiply the original price and the discount percentage and divide that by 100. once you get the amount saved, which in this case would be $2.75, subtract that from the original price.
