A biologist took a count of the number of migrating geese in a state park and recounted the park's population of geese for each of the next six weeks.
a. Find a quadratic function that models the data shown as a function of x, the number of weeks.
b. Use the model to estimate the number of geese at the lake on week 8.

P(x)= 41x2 – 179x + 756; 1948 geese
P(x)= 44x2 – 198x + 762; 1994 geese
P(x)= 45x2 – 198x + 756; 2052 geese
P(x)= 42x2 – 186x + 762; 1962 geese
