Abortions Using data from 1975 to 2008, the number of abortions in the United States per 1000 women aged 15–44 can be modeled by the function y = −0.026x2 + 0.951x + 18.161, where x is the number of years after 1970 and y is measured in thousands.

a. In what year does this model indicate the number was a maximum?


b. What was the maximum number of abortions in this year if this model is accurate?


c. For what values of x can we be sure that this model no longer applies?
