Question 132865: I cant seem to figure this one out could someone give me a little help.
The equation canbe used to predict the number y of gun deaths in the US x years after 2000, that is x=0 corresponds to 2000, x=2 corresponds to 2002 and x=5 corresponds to 2005 and so on. Predict the number of gun deaths in 2005 and 2009. In mhat year will the number of deaths equal 9383?

Answer by vleith(2983)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To predict the number of deaths in 2005, substitute for and then solve.
So:


in 2005
Use a similar approach for 2009

The last question asks, when will the number of deaths be 9383.
In this problem, you are given the number of deaths and asked to estimate what year the model predicts. So, this time, we are given the value and asked to solve for
substitute 9383 for y


yielding x = 10
Which then implies the year will be 2010
