Experts fear that without conservation efforts. tiger could disappear from the wild by 2022. Just out hundred years ago there were at least 100,000 wild tigers, By 2010, the estimated world tiger population was 3200. The bar graph shows the estimated world tiger population for selected years from 1970 through 2010. Also shown is a polynomial function, with its graph, that models the data. Use this information to solve Exercises 73-
Source: World Wildlife Fund
a. Find and interpret f(10). Identify this information as a point on the graph of f.
b. Does f(10) overestimate or underestimate the actual data shown by the bar graph? By how much?
c. Use the Leading Coefficient Test to determine the end behavior to the right for the graph of f, Might this function be useful in modeling the world tiger population if conservation efforts to save wild tigers are successful? Explain your answer.

- How many turning points (from increasing to decreasing or from decreasing to increasing) occurred for the person's heart rate during the 15 minute film? What is the degree of the polynomial function of best fit? Use the graph to estimate the person's maximum heart rate during the 15 minute film. After how many minutes did this maximum heart rate occur? Use the graph to estimate the person's minimum heart rate during the 15 minute film. After how many minutes did this minimum heart rate occur?arrow_forwardInput: 0, Output: 3 Input: 12, Output: 12288 Input: 4, Output: 48 Input: 3, Output: 24 Input: 11, Output: 6144 Input: 2, Output: 12 Input: 1, Output: 6 Input: 7, Output: 384 What type of function is this?
