Answer:

There were 2,233,800 incarcerated adults in 2007

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of incarcerated adults:

The number of incarcerated adults in x years after 2000, in thousands, is given by:

$N(x) = -4.6x^2 + 70.6x + 1965$

How many in 2007?

2007 - 2000 = 7, so this is N(7).

$N(7) = -4.6*7^2 + 70.6*7 + 1965 = 2233.8$

2233.8*1000 = 2,233,800

There were 2,233,800 incarcerated adults in 2007
