SOLUTION: The beer consumption by Americans for the years 1960–2005 can be modeled by the equation
y= -0.0665x^2 + 3.58x + 122, where x is the number of years
after 1960, and y is the nu

Question 875978: The beer consumption by Americans for the years 1960–2005 can be modeled by the equation
y= -0.0665x^2 + 3.58x + 122, where x is the number of years
after 1960, and y is the number of ounces of beer consumed per
person in that year. Find the per person consumption in 1960, then
find in what year the model predicts that consumption will return
to that level.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y= -0.0665x^2 + 3.58x + 122, where x is the number of years after 1960,
and y is the number of ounces of beer consumed per person in that year.
Find the per person consumption in 1960: 122oz
year the model predicts that consumption will return to that level.
In 54years (graphing calculator)
122 = .0065x^2 - 3.58x
1960 + 54 = 2014
