The US Census lists the population of the United States as 249 million in 1990, 281 million in 2000, and 309 million in 2010. Fit a second-degree polynomial P(t)=a_{2}t^{2}+a_{1}t+a_{0} passing through these points, where t represents years after 1990 (so t=0 corresponds to 1990) and P(t) represents population in millions (so P(0)=249). Sketch the parabola, P(t). Use the model to predict the population in the years 2020 and 2030. (Source: US Census Bureau). You may use technology to solve the system of 3 equations and 3 unknowns used to find your coefficients/constants for your model. The setup of your 3x3 linear system must be shown.
