Question 111628This question is from textbook Beginning & Intermidate algebra
: The number y of U.S. cable TV networks from 1984 through 2003 can be approximated by the quadratic equation y=1.06x^2-4.77x + 47.9, where x=0 represents 1984, x=1 represents 1985, and so on. Use the model to estimate the number of cable TV channels in the year 2000. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. This question is from textbook Beginning & Intermidate algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The year 2000 is 16 years after 1984, so x=16.
Fill in 16 for x in you equation: y=1.06(16)^2-4.77(16)+47.9 then solve like a regular math problem.
