Question

A country's census lists the population of the country as 239 million in 1990, 281 million in 2000, and 319 million in 2010. Fit a second-degree polynomial passing through these three points. (Let the year 2000 be x = 0 and let p(x) represent the population in millions.) p(x) = million Use this polynomial to predict the populations in 2020 and in 2030. 2020 million 2030 million

Step 1

Given that the year 2000 is x = 0, we can define the years relative to 2000. Thus, 1990 becomes x = -10, 2000 is x = 0, and 2010 is x = 10. The populations given for these years are 239 million (for 1990), 281 million (for 2000), and 319 million (for 2010), Show more…
