Suppose the number of prisoners held in a certain type of

Suppose the number of prisoners held in a certain type of prison, measured in thousands, can be described by the quadratic equation P = -1.94x²+76.35x+737. The variable x represents the number of years since 1990. According to the equation, how many prisoners were there in the year 2001 (x = 11) and 2006 (x = 16)? There were approximately thousand prisoners in 2001. (Simplify your answer. Round to two decimal places as needed.) There were approximately thousand prisoners in 2006. (Simplify your answer. Round to two decimal places as needed.) *****
