4. The function P(x) = .018x3 - .687x2 + 6.638x + 16 describes the value of a precious metal over a 23-month period.
a. During which month did the metal achieve it’s greatest value?______________________
b. Determine the lowest value since then. ______________________
c. Describe the value of the metal over the last ten months. ______________________
d. If the P(x) continues to model the value of the precious metal, will the value exceed its previous greatest value in the next six months or will it drop below the previous low value (not the initial value)?______________________
5. The function M(x) = -0.287x3 + 8.8x2 – 59.843x + 220.7 describes the incidence of measles (per 100,000) for the period 1940-1960 (x = 0 for 1940).
