(Round to the nearest whole number.)
Save
The number of bald eagles in a state during the winters from 1996 to 2002 can be modeled by the quartic function
f(x) = -3.334x4 +35.607x3-97.645x² +41.268x + 177.537
where x is the number of years since 1996. Find the number of bald eagles in the state in the winter of 2000.

Answer 1

206

Explanation:

Let x=4.

`f(4)=-3.334(4)^4+35.607(3)^3-97.645(4)^2+41.268(4)+177.537 \approx 206`
