Question 1173246: The function f(x) = 0.39x^2 + 2.49x + 38.7 can be used to approximate the number of people under age 65 without health insurance during the period 1999-2005, where x is the number of years after 1999 and f(x) is the number in millions of people. Round answers to the nearest tenth of a million.
a. Approximate the number of people under 65 without health insurance in 2003.
b. Use the function to predict the number of people under 65 without health insurance in 2008. Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi
f(x) = f(x) = 0.39x^2 + 2.49x + 38.7 f(x) in millions
and x reflects the number of years after 1999
Approximate the number of people under 65 without health insurance in 2003
f(4) = 54.9 million
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
f(x) = 0.39x^2 + 2.49x + 38.7 sketched
