- The flow network on the right shows connected water pipes represented as edges. The arrows show the direction of flow of the water through the pipes. The weights on the edges represent the maximum flow of water, in kilolitres per minute, through each pipe.

- Šolve the problem. The table shows the percentage of people living below the poverty line in one U.S. city in the years 2000 through 2003. Percentage of people living below poverty line 11.7 Year 2000 2001 13 2002 13.7 2003 13.8 The data in the table can be written as ordered pairs (x, y) where x is the number of years after 2000 and y is the percentage of people living below the poverty line in that year. Use the data for 2000, 2002, and 2003 to find the quadratic function + bx +c that models the percentage, y, of people in this city living below the y= ax2 poverty line x years after 2000.
