So here we are shown a quadratic function that represents the solar energy consumption in trillions vtu in the united states, in 1990.
00:09
And it says, find f of 21, and then interpret its meaning.
00:14
Meaning, so i'm going to plug 21 in for t.
00:26
I put it in my calculator.
00:38
And that gives me 16 .95 trillion btu in the year, so 1990 is 21, which is 2011.
00:52
11.
00:54
That says find the vertex and interpret its meaning.
00:58
So to find the vertex, i'm going to first do negative b x equals negative b over 2a to find the year.
01:05
And that's going to be negative 3 .2 over 2 times negative .24.
01:15
Oh, this should have been a 0 .24 up here.
01:17
Let me change that answer.
01:24
Okay, so this should be 21 .36 trillion.
01:31
I think everything else looks good.
01:33
Yeah...
