Respuesta :

Based on the values of x and y for the company and its school desks, the equation that best models the situation is D. y = 34x² - 334x + 1,075.

How does this equation model the situation?

The best equation would be the one that gives the closest value of y to the value of the actual value of y on the table.

The first two equations can be ruled out because the table shows that this is not a linear model as there is no constant rate of change.

Test the other two equations:

x=1:

y = -34(1)² + 334(1) + 1,075

= 1,075

This is too high.

Other equation:

y = 34(1)² - 334(1) + 1,075

= 775

This is close to 800 so this is the best equation.
