Minimum Wage: The table shows the minimum wage for three different years.

YEAR 1940 1968 1997
WAGE ($) 0.25 1.60 5.15

A.) Make a scatterplot of the data in the viewing rectangle
[1930, 2010, 10] by [0, 6, 1].

B.) Find a quadratic function given by
f (x) = a(x-h)^2+k that models the data.

C.) Estimate the minimum wage in 1976 and compare it to the actual value of $2.30.

D.) Estimate when the minimum wage was $1.00.

E.) If current trends continue, predict the minimum wage in 2009. Compare it to the projected value of $7.25.
