Let us model this problem with a polynomial function.
Let x = day number (1,2,3,4, ...)
Let y = number of creatures colled on day x.
Because we have 5 data points, we shall use a 4th order polynomial of the form
y = a₁x⁴ + a₂x³ + a₃x² + a₄x + a₅
Substitute x=1,2, ..., 5 into y(x) to obtain the matrix equation
| 1 1 1 1 1 | | a₁ | | 42 |
| 2⁴ 2³ 2² 2¹ 2⁰ | | a₂ | | 26 |
| 3⁴ 3³ 3² 3¹ 3⁰ | | a₃ | = | 61 |
| 4⁴ 4³ 4² 4¹ 4⁰ | | a₄ | | 65 |
| 5⁴ 5³ 5² 5¹ 5⁰ | | a₅ | | 56 |
When this matrix equation is solved in the calculator, we obtain
a₁ = 4.1667
a₂ = -55.3333
a₃ = 253.3333
a₄ = -451.1667
a₅ = 291.0000
Test the solution.
y(1) = 42
y(2) = 26
y(3) = 61
y(4) = 65
y(5) = 56
The average for 5 days is (42+26+61+65+56)/5 = 50.
If Kathy collected 53 creatures instead of 56 on day 5, the average becomes
(42+26+61+65+53)/5 = 49.4.
Now predict values for days 5,7,8.
y(6) = 152
y(7) = 571
y(8) = 1631

Answer:
The answer is option C
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x³ + 2x² + 3x + 4
To find f(-1) substitute the value of x that's
- 1 into f(x)
That's

Answer:
85 in intreset and 935 totoal
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A = $935.00
I = A - P = $85.00
Equation:
A = P(1 + rt)
Calculation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 5%/100 = 0.05 per year.
Solving our equation:
A = 850(1 + (0.05 × 2)) = 935
A = $935.00
The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $850.00 at a rate of 5% per year for 2 years is $935.00.
For the graph in the figure
we know that
the function is a quadratic equation ( vertical parabola) open up
so
The vertex is a minimum
the vertex is the point 
The domain x of the function is all real numbers-------> (-∞,∞)
The range is the interval--------> [0,∞)
therefore
Statements
A) The range is the set of all real numbers
Is false
B) The domain is the set of all real numbers
Is true
C) The domain is the set of all real numbers greater than or equal to zero
Is false
D) The range is the set of all real numbers greater than or equal to zero
Is true
