More and more businesses and homeowners are installing solar panels on their roofs to draw energy from the sun's rays. According to the U. S. Department of Energy, the solar cell kilowatt-hour use in the United States (in millions) is projected to be S(t) = 0.73t2 + 15.8t +2.7 (0 < t < 8) in year t, with t = 0 corresponding to 2000. What was the number of projected solar cell kilowatt-hours used in the United States for 2001? For 2002?

S(2001) = 19.23

S(2002) = 37.22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

S(t) = 0.73t^2 + 15.8t +2.7

t = 0 corresponding 2000

t = 1 then, its mean year 2001

so

S(2001) = 0.73(1)^2 + 15.8(1) +2.7

= 0.73 + 15.8 + 2.7

S(2001) = 19.23

also

t = 2 then, it means 2002

so

S(2002) = 0.73(2)^2 + 15.8(2) +2.7

= 2.92 + 31.6 + 2.7

S(2002) = 37.22

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
