Several scientists decided to travel to South America each year beginning in 2001 and record the number of insect species they encountered on each trip. The table shows the values coding
2001 as 1, 2002 as 2, and so on. Find the model that best fits the data and identify its
corresponding R2 value.

f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 -3x

x( x^2 -2x-3)

x( x^2 +x -3x -3)

x( x(x+1) -3(x+1))

x( x-3)( x+1)

so zeroes are 0, 3,-1

its (2) option

the function makes a strait line horizontally with no x intercept but a y intercept at 9.

29933333.33

step-by-step explanation:

false

step-by-step explanation:

the reason i say this is because for a certain length of sides you can pick any two and the length is wither equal or greater than the third side and in this case it's not.

3 + 5 = 8

8 is smaller than 9 which is the third side.

hope this : )
