Urgent the table shows the annual consumption of cheese per person in the u. s. for selected years in the 20th century. use a cubic model to estimate milk production in 1994. a. 62.4 b. 58.4 c. 116.8 d. 54.4

Answer-

The cubic equation-

Milk consumption in 1994 was 58.4 pounds.

Solution-

The general form of a cubic model is,

x = input variable = year - 2000 i.e number years after 2000

y = output variable = milk consumed in pounds

Then putting the values from the table,

--------------------------1

-------------2

-------------3

------------4

Solving equations (1), (2), (3) and (4) simultaneously we get,

So, the equation becomes,

In order to get the milk consumption in 1994, putting x=94

Therefore, milk consumption in 1994 was 58.4 pounds.

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
