Math Problem Statement

Question content area top Part 1 The table to the right shows a​ country's gross domestic expenditures on research and development​ (in billions of U.S.​ dollars). ​(a) Let xequals4 correspond to the year 2004. Plot the data points and use quadratic regression to find a function that models the data. ​(b) Use the model to estimate the expenditures in the year 2012.

Question content area bottom Part 1 ​(a) Plot the data points. Choose the correct graph below. All graphs are shown in a​ [0,10,1] by​ [0,200,20] viewing window. A.

A scatterplot has a horizontal axis labeled from 0 to 10 in increments of 1 and a vertical axis labeled from 0 to 200 in increments of 20. The following points are plotted: (4, 174); (5, 151); (6, 125); (7, 101); (8, 101), (9, 88); (10, 73). All coordinates are approximate. B.

A scatterplot has a horizontal axis labeled from 0 to 10 in increments of 1 and a vertical axis labeled from 0 to 200 in increments of 20. The following points are plotted: (1, 174); (2, 151); (3, 125); (4, 101); (5, 88), (6, 73); (7, 59). All coordinates are approximate. C.
