A biologist took a count of the number of migrating waterfowl at a particular lake, and recounted the lakes population of waterfowl on each of the next six weeks. Find a quadratic function that models the data as a function of x, the number of weeks. Use the model to estimate the number of waterfowl at the lake on week 8.
