PLEASE HELP!!! This table shows the profit for a company (in millions of dollars) in different years. 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 4?

Answer:

15740000 million dollars in profit in year 4

Explanation:

Now since you didn't provide the table, im going to have to assume the years are going to be the X while the Y is going to be profit.

Using the equation you provided y=-0.34x^2+4.43x +3.46, we can simply put 4 as our x value (since x represents years) and we would get 15.74. Now you have to remember to convert it into millions to show the profit so 15.74 times 1,000,000 would be 15740000 million dollars
