Write a quadratic model of the basketball's path. If the
center of the hoop is at (12, 10), will the ball go through
the hoop?
An equation that best models data that follows a quadratic pattern.
**Calculator Steps are the same as for Best-Fitting
Lines except for what type of regression you choose!!
1. Go to STAT
2. EDIT
3. Enter the data into L1 and L2
4. Go to STAT
5. ARROW Right to CALC
6. ARROW Down to #5 QuadReg
7. In Home screen you should now have QuadReg
8. Go to VARS, over to YVars, hit ENTER for Y1
Does (12,10) lie on the parabola?
or yes!

The following table shows the operating costs of a small business from 2000
to 2005. Assume that t is the number of years since 2000 and C is the cost in
thousands of dollars.
a) Use a graphing calculator to find the best-fitting quadratic model for the data.
b) Using the model, how much are the operating costs in 2008?

The following table shows the number of scrap parts P produced by a large
manufacturing company from 1996 to 2004. Quality control is working to eliminate
the production of scrap. Assume that t is the number of years since 1996 and P is
measured in thousands.
a) Use a graphing calculator to find the best-fitting quadratic model for the data.
b) What will the number of scrap parts be in 2005?
c) Using the graphing calculator model, in what year will the scrap parts theoretically be zero?

The following table shows the number of
people (in thousands) that were unemployed
in Australia from 1990 to 1995. Assume
that t is the number of years since 1990.
a)
Make a scatterplot of the data on your calculator. Sketch it.
b)
Use your calculator to find the best fitting quadratic model for the data. Round
to the nearest hundredth.
c)
Find the maximum percentage for the data. In what year did the maximum occur?
