r(x)=3x%5E3+-+2x%5E2+%2B+x+%2B+25 is good predictor of her income tax refund,
where X is the number of years since 2000.
use synthetic substitution to estimate alyssa's 2007 tax refund.
Not sure what synthetic substitution is; but using substitution:
:
x = 7
:
r(x)=3%287%5E3%29+-+2%287%5E2%29+%2B+7+%2B+25
:
r(x)=3%28343%29+-+2%2849%29+%2B+32
:
r(x)= 1029 - 98 + 32
:
r(x) = $963
