Question 187500: This is a polynomial in word problem form. please help.

The Budget B in billions of the National Institutes of Health can be estimated by the polynomial function given by B(t)=0.15t^2+2.22t+17.9, where t is the number of years since 2000. What is the predicted budget in 2012?

thank you

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
B(t)=0.15t^2+2.22t+17.9
B(12)=.15*12^2+2.22*12+17.9
B(12)=.15*144+26.64+17.9
B(12)=216+26.64+17.9
B(12)=$260.54 Billions are predicted for 2012.
