Question

The number of foam fingers sold at the Kennedy Center from 1900 to 2004 can be modeled by S =

2t^2 + 2t - 1, where t is the number of years since 1900. How many foam fingers were sold in 1976?
5,775
151
11,703
11,628

Answer 1

C) 11703

Explanation:

from 1900 to 1976 is 76 years.

substitute 76 for t:

S = 2(76)^2 + 2(76) - 1

S = 2(5776) + 152 - 1

S = 11552 + 151

S = 11703
