Question 1183137: The polynomial 0.0052x3 - 0.0041x2 + 0.145x + 1.15 gives the approximate total earnings of a 1) company, in millions of dollars, where x = 0 corresponds to 1996, x = 1 corresponds to 1997, and so on. This model is valid for the years from 1996 to 2000. Determine the earnings for 1998.
