Question

Experts fear that without conservation efforts, an endangered species could disappear from the wild by 2022. Just one hundred years ago, there were at least 100,000 of this endangered species. By 2010, the estimated world population of this endangered species was 800. The bar graph shows the estimated world population of this endangered species for selected years from 1970 through 2010. Also shown is a polynomial function, with its graph, that models the data. Use this information to complete parts a through c. Click the icon to view the bar graph and the graph of the polynomial function. 
a. Find and interpret f(40). 
In the year 2010, the polynomial estimates the population of this species to be 844. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.) 
Identify this information as a point on the graph of f. (Type an ordered pair. Do not use commas in the individual coordinates.)
