Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<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
The correct answer is option 2.
3 = 0
x - a = 0
x = a
x + b = 0
x = -b
We do not multiply any of these values by 3 because in a way, 3 is acting as another "zero" of the equation. Though, as shown above, it does not equal 0, it still does not apply to any of the other equations solved above.
Hope this helps!! :)
45/60=0.75. Speed*time=distance. 35(0.75)= 26.25 miles
Answer:
Week 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Week 1: 3.5 miles => 22.5 miles left
22.5/1.5 increments = 15 weeks
15 weeks + week 1 = 16th week
