The quadratic regression equation that models these data is y = - 0.34x ^ 2 + 4.43x + 3.46 Using the quadratic regression equation what was the predicted profit in year 8? A. $ 17.14 million B. $ 17 million C. $ 16.8 million D. $16 million

A. $ 17.14 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit:

The profit, in millions of dollars, on year x, is given by:

Year 8

This is y(8). So

$17.14 million, option A.

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x
