- A function that models the data is given by y = -0.4908x² + 5.8845x + 1.3572.
- The number of students that are absent 10 days after the outbreak is equal to 11 students.
What is a scatter plot?
A scatter plot is also referred to as scatter chart, scatter diagram or scattergram and it can be defined as a type of graph which is used for the graphical representation of the values of two (2) variables, with the resulting points showing any association (correlation) between the data set.
What is a quadratic function?
A quadratic function can be defined as a mathematical expression (equation) that can be used to define and represent the relationship that exists between two or more variable on a graph.
In Mathematics, the standard form of a quadratic equation is given by;
ax² + bx + c = 0
By critically observing the graph (see attachment) which models the data in the given table, we can infer and logically deduce that the polynomial function is given by:
y = -0.4908x² + 5.8845x + 1.3572
For the number of students that are absent 10 days after the outbreak, we have:
y = -0.4908(10)² + 5.8845(10) + 1.3572
y = -0.4908(100) + 58.845 + 1.3572
y = -49.08 + 58.845 + 1.3572
y = 11.12 ≈ 11 students.
