Exponential is the answer okau
Umm I'm not that good at this but my guess is One triangle let me know if that was right
Answer:
<u>Part (a)</u>
It depends how your calculator calculates quadratic regressions.
For my calculator:
- Go to Statistics menu
- Select quadratic regression: y=a+bx+cx²
- Input the x and y values from the given table
- Go to options and select regression calc
a = 1.177142857 = 1.18 (nearest hundredth)
b = 42.22257143 = 42.22 (nearest hundredth)
c = -12.87142857 = -12.87 (nearest hundredth)
⇒ y = 1.18 + 42.22x - 12.87x²
Therefore, the quadratic regression equation in standard form is:

<u>Part (b)</u>
To estimate the height of the rocket after 5 seconds, input x = 5 into the regression equation:

As this gives us a negative value, this means that the rocket would have come back to the ground before 5 s. Therefore, the height of the rocket at 5 s will be 0 ft.
(see attached graph → the rocket will hit the ground at approx 3.3 s)
The total cost for utilities last month is 353,571.43.
<h3>What is the total cost for utilities last month?</h3>
The total cost for utilities last month can be determined by multiplying the volume of the stadium by the cost per cubic foot.
The volume of the stadium can be determined by using the formula for the volume of a hemisphere.
Volume of a hemisphere = Volume of a hemisphere = (2/3) x (n) x (r^3)
n = 22/7
r = radius
2/3 x 22/7 x 150³ = 7071,428.57
The total cost for utilities last month = 7071,428.57 x 0.05 = 353,571.43
