Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given formula

  • y = x² + 3x + 2
  • x- is the number of years after 2000,
  • y - is the number of trout

Year 2005, finding number of trout

  • x = (2005 - 2000) = 5
  • y = 5² + 3*5 + 2 = 42 millions

Year 2010, finding number of trout

  • x = (2010 - 2000) = 10
  • y = 10² + 3*10 + 2 = 132 millions

Year 2015, finding number of trout

  • x = (2015 - 2000) = 15
  • y = 15² + 3*15 + 2 = 272 millions

Answer:

  1. 42 million
  2. 132 million
  3. 272 million
  4. The number of trout inceases a lot each 5 years that pass.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of trout in 2005.

Find the number of years apart from 2000 to 2005.

2005 - 2000 = 5

Substitute for x and solve for y.

y = x² + 3x + 2

y = (5)² + 3(5) + 2

y = 25 + 15 + 2

y = 40 + 2

y = 42 million

Number of trout in 2010.

Find the number of years apart from 2000 to 2010.

2010 - 2000 = 10

Substitute for x and solve for y.

y = x² + 3x + 2

y = (10)² + 3(10) + 2

y = 100 + 30 + 2

y = 130 + 2

y = 132 million

Number if trout in 2015.

Find the number of years apart from 2000 to 2015.

2015 - 2000 = 15

Substitute for x and solve for y.

y = x² + 3x + 2

y = (15)² + 3(15) + 2

y = 225 + 45 + 2

y = 270 + 2

y = 272 million

Best of Luck!
