A new hospital tracked the number of births during its first 6 months of operation, as shown in the table.
A 2-column table with 6 rows. The first column is labeled month with entries 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The second column is labeled number of births with entries 137, 110, 93, 70, 65, 77.
Find a quadratic function that models the data. Round numerical values to the nearest whole number.
f(x) = x2 + x +

Use the function to predict the number of births for month 8. There will be about births.

Nthe opening scene of the movie raiders of the lost ark, indiana jones replaces a golden statue with a bag of sand. the platform on which the statue is placed is designed to detect the mass of the statue. if the bag of sand has a different mass than the statue, then a mechanism triggers and destruction ensues. the density of gold is about 20\text{ g/cm}^320 g/cm 3 20, space, g, slash, c, m, start superscript, 3, end superscript. the density of sand can be estimated at 2.5\text{ g/cm}^32.5 g/cm 3 2, point, 5, space, g, slash, c, m, start superscript, 3, end superscript. the gold statue can be modeled as a cylinder with height 25\text{ cm}25 cm25, space, c, m and radius 8\text{ cm}8 cm8, space, c, m. in terms of \piπpi, what is the mass of sand indiana jones needs to avoid triggering the mechanism?
