In 2005, some data was taken on the number of women in certain age groups who gave birth.

Age of Women 22 27 32
Number of women per
1000 who gave birth 102 116 96

(a) Determine , so that f models this data.
(Use trial and error, and find values of a, h, and k to the tenths place to guarantee that your graph comes close enough to “go through” all 3 points on the table when on “ZOOM STAT” [as boxes in the TI-83/84].)

perl · Answer

so you basically have three data points ? 
(22,102)  (27, 116) and (32, 96) .

anonymous · Answer

yes, i found the answers to the equation on here but didn't understand why and if I do my exam I need to understand why.

anonymous · Answer

the answers posted were 
a= -0.68
h=26.56
k=116.13

perl · Answer

sorry, what are a,h, k >

anonymous · Answer

i need to make the equation into a vertex form equation

anonymous · Answer

sorry unclear

perl · Answer

you can make a system of equations

perl · Answer

but the fastest way to do this is to make a list and use QuadReg
