You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
the number of new cars purchased in a city can be modeled by the equation C=20t2 + 135t + 3050,
where C is the number of new cars and t =0 corresponds to the number of new cars purchased in 198.
in what year will the number of new cars purchased reach 15,000
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solve the quadratic equation
20t^2 + 135t + 3050 = 15000
to get the answer.
You can use the quadratic formula for it.
If you are not familiar with the quadratic formula, learn about it from the lessons
- Introduction into Quadratic Equations
- PROOF of quadratic formula by completing the square
in this site.
-------------------
Also, the year 198 happened more than 1800 years ago, when no one car existed in the world, so I do not clearly understand,
what your condition is talking about.
