HELP! During the period 1998–2002, the number y (in millions) of juvenile books shipped to bookstores can be modeled by the equation y = -15x^2 + 64x + 360 where x is the number of years since 1998.

During what year were there 400 million juvenile books shipped to bookstores?

Respuesta :

The solution to the problem is as follows:

y = -15x^2 + 64x + 360
 
400 = -15x^2 + 64x + 360

-15x^2 + 64x - 40 = 0
 
sol ve this for x

x = 3.5 

Therefore, rounding up,  400 million juvenile books shipped to bookstores will be in 2003.
