While reading a recent study done on people of various ages, you notice a trend. The study counted the number of times in a 24 hour period that the people misunderstood or misinterpreted a statement, comment, or question. The study offers the numbers shown in the table below.


20 years: 44 misunderstandings/misinterpretations

30 years: 28 misunderstandings/misinterpretations

40 years: 20 misunderstandings/misinterpretations


You believe that the number of misunderstandings should reach a minimum at some age then go up again for very old people. Therefore, you assume that a quadratic function will best model this data. Find the equation that best fits this data.

Climbing Mt. Everest is not an easy task! Not only is it a difficult hike, but the Earth’s atmosphere decreases exponentially as you climb above the Earth’s surface, and this makes it harder to breathe. The air pressure at the Earth’s surface (sea level) is approximately 14.7 pounds per square inch (or 14.7 psi). In Denver, Colorado, elevation 5280 feet, the air pressure is approximately 12.15 psi. Write the particular equation representing this data expressing air pressure as a function of altitude. 

What is the air pressure in Mexico City, elevation 7300 feet?

(Note: You will need to carry out the decimal values several places to get an accurate equation and air pressures.)

What is "11.29psi"?


y=14.7(0.999964x)

500
