Quadratic model
Given information:
Coefficient of determination:
Quadratic model:
Linear model:
Explanation:
Coefficient of regression is an indicator of how well the regression model fits the data, with a value nearing 1 indicating a good fit and one near 0 indicating a poor fit.
Here, the coefficient of determination of quadratic model is higher than the linear mode.
Therefore, Quadratic model fits well for the given data.
g
To find the year when the model will reach 120 million.
Yes, it is possible if it is a quadratic model.
Given information:
Explanation:
For linear model,
With the help of the equation
On Substituting
It is observed that the values are negative for different values of
Therefore, this is a not good model for the data.
For quadratic model,
With the help of the equation
On Substituting
On Substituting
It is observed that the number of household with television reaches 120 million in the year 2012.
Therefore, Quadratic model is the best fit for the given data.

Roman and Shanice come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck starts to pull. Meanwhile, Roman and Shanice get behind the car and push. The truck generates a horizontal force of 377 lb on the car. Roman and Shanice are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate a force of 119 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The angle between these vectors is 20.2°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude and its direction angle from the positive x-axis. 119 lb 20.2° 377 lb a.
