Question 886274: Help with this problem, please.
The number of first -year enrollment in obsteopathy schools during the period from 1990 through 1996, can be approximated by the polynomial funcation defined by f(x)=0.5x^2+68.9x+1852, where x=0 corresponds to 1990, x=1 corresponds to 1991, and so on. Based on this model, how many first -year students were there in 1993?

Plug in x = 3 to get

f(x)=0.5x^2+68.9x+1852

f(3)=0.5(3)^2+68.9(3)+1852

f(3)=2063.2

So there were approximately 2,063 first year students in 1993 (I rounded to the nearest whole number).
