Answer:
(A) y= -1.026x^2 + 1016.402x - 162075
Explanation:
Here is the options to the question
Which equation best represents the data?
A) y= -1.026x^2 + 1016.402x - 162075
B) y= -1.036x^2 + 1024.771x - 163710
C) y= 298.214x - 66317.667
D) y= 196.2x – 18710
(A) y= -1.026x^2 + 1016.402x - 162075
The data above represents the company's profit based on number of items produced.
To get the equation which best represents the data, we have to substitute the value of x into the given equations
By substituting x=100 in first equation, we have:
y = -1.02x² + 1016.402x – 162075
y = -1.026(100)² + 1016.402(100) – 162075
y = -70500
y = -70500
Option A satisfies.
Using the second equation
When x = 100
y = -1.036x^2 + 1024.771x - 163710
y = -1.036(100)² + 1024.771(100) - 163710
y = -10360 + 102477.1 – 163710
y = -71592.9
Option B doesn’t satisfies
We can also replace the various values of x in the equations to check whether or not they satisfy.
