Hi
f(x) = 0.07x^2 - 0.8x + 3.6 f(x) in millions and f(1) reflects Jan 2004
Approximate the number of Weblogs on the internet in October 2006. x = 35
Round answers to the nearest tenth million.
Using Calculate function on the Graphing software I keep on my laptop
Can be downloaded at www.padowan.dk.com
f(35) = 61.4 million
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
