Question 1103577: Suppose that the number of patients on the kidney waiting list from 2003 to 2010 can be modeled by the equation y equals 201 x squared minus 2813 x plus 52,267 y=201x^2−2813x+52,267​, where x equals=0 represents the year 2000. Assume that this trend continues and predict the year in which 71,381 patients will be on the waiting list.

71381=201x²-2813x+52267
201x²-2813x-19114=0
By the quadratic formula, we get answers of 19.0 and -5.00497512438 for x. Using the positive value, we get 2019 as the year when tne number of patients equals 71,381
