14.36 AND 9.89 ===> 14 or 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Y =  Ax2BxC

Enter coefficients here >>>  -497-568

Standard Form: y = -4x²+97x-568    

-24.25-12.125147.015625-588.062520.0625

Grouped  Form: No valid Grouping      

Graphing Form: y = -4(x-12.13)²+20.06    

Factored Form: PRIME

Discriminate =321 is positive, two real solutions    

VERTEX: (12.13,20.06)     Directrix: Y=20.13    

step-by-step explanation:

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
