Good luck
<span>Using processing software (Excel) or even a decent scientific calculator. You input the values and generate the best fit cubic equation.
For number 1, the equation is
y = 8x10</span>⁻⁵ x³ - 0.0097 x² + 0.374 x + 1.083
where x is the number of years since 1900
y is the pounds cheese consumed
For number 2, the equation is
y = -3x10⁻⁵ x³ + 0.0028 x² + 0.2155 x + 1.7736
For number 3
P(-1) = 18
450000 * .08
= 36,000
They reduce $36,000 from the original price.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
( 2x +5)^2 =4
2x+5=2
2x=-3
X=-3/2
