The prison population increased from 2002 to 2007 will be 99 thousand.
What is polynomial?
A polynomial expression is an algebraic expression with variables and coefficients.
Suppose the number of prisoners held in a certain type of prison, measured in thousands, can be described by the polynomial
⇒ −2.04x² + 78.44x + 750
The variable x represents the number of years since 1990.
The number of the years till 2002 will be 12.
Then the population of the prisoners will be
⇒ −2.04 (12)² + 78.44 (12) + 750
⇒ −293.76 + 941.28 + 750
⇒ 1397.52
The number of the years till 2007 will be 17.
Then the population of the prisoners will be
⇒ −2.04 (17)² + 78.44 (17) + 750
⇒ −589.56 + 1333.48 + 750
⇒ 1493.92
Then the prison population increase from 2002 to 2007 will be
⇒ 1493.92 - 1397.52
⇒ 99.4 ≈ 99
The prison population increased from 2002 to 2007 will be 99 thousand.
