A biologist took a count of the number of migrating waterfowl at a particular lake, and recounted the lake's population of waterfowl on each of the next six weeks. Find a quadratic function that models the data as a function of x, the number of weeks. Use the model to estimate the number of waterfowl at the lake on week 8. a. P(x) = 25x² - 25x + 600; 1,650 waterfowl b. P(x) = 30x² + 25x + 550; 2,195 waterfowl c. P(x) = 25x² - 25x + 600; 2,000 waterfowl d. P(x) = 30x² + 25x + 550; 2,670 waterfowl Select one: A. a B. b C. c D. d
