Federal Funds The amount of federal funds, in billions, spent on child nutrition programs...

Federal Funds The amount of federal funds, in billions, spent on child nutrition programs can be modeled by N = 0.645x2 − 0.165x + 10.298, where x is the number of years after 2000.

a. What was the increase in federal funds spent on child nutrition programs between 2000 and 2010?


b. Use graphical methods to find in what year after 2000 the model predicts the amount of funds spent to be $134.408 billion.


c. Use the model to estimate the funds that will be spent in 2020. Is this interpolation or extrapolation? What assumptions are you making when you make this estimation?
