(a) Find the function of the quadratic model that gives the rate of change in number of donors, where t is the number of years since 1985, with data from 0 ≤ t ≤ 15. (Round all numerical values to three decimal places.)
f'(t) =
donors per year
(b) Find the function of the model that gives the number of donors, where t is the number of years since 1985. Use the fact that in 1990, there were 10,706 donors. (Round all numerical values to three decimal places.)
f(t)
donors
(c) Estimate the number of donors in 2004. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
