Problema Solution
The number of bags of peanuts sold at the Kennedy Center from 1900 to 2004 can be modeled by S = 4t^2 + 2t - 4, where t is the number of years since 1900. How many bags of peanuts were sold in 1998?
Answer provided by our tutors
For the year of 1998 we have t = 1998 - 1900 = 98 years
we plug t = 98 into S = 4t^2 + 2t - 4
S = 4*98^2 + 2*98 - 4
