Question 1069254: The net income y (in millions of dollars) of Pet Products Unlimited from 1997 to 1999 is given by the equation y = 9x2 + 15x + 52, where x represents the number of years after 1997. Assume this trend continues and predict the year in which Pet Products Unlimited's net income will be $598 million Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 9x^2 + 15x + 52 = 598
:
subtract 598 from both sides of =
:
9x^2 + 15x - 546 = 0
:
divide both sides of = by 3
:
3x^2 + 5x - 182 = 0
:
(3x+26) * (x-7) = 0
:
x = -26/3 and x = 7
:
we reject the negative value for x
:
