Suppose that the speed of a car, measured in miles per hour (mph), is monitored for a short period of time after the driver applies the brakes. The following table relates the speed of the car to the amount of time, measured in seconds (sec), elapsed from the moment that the brakes are applied. Elapsed Time (sec) 2 4 6 8 10 Speed of Car (mph) 44 29 19 9 4 The data is represented in the table graphically with elapsed time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis. What general trend does the data reflect?

The Air Quality Index, or AQI, measures how polluted the air is in your city and assigns a number based on the quality of the air. Over 100 is "Unhealthy". The following quadratic regression equation, models the AQI over time, where n represents the number of days the AQI exceeded 100, and t represents the number of years since 1990. Estimate the number of days the AQI exceeded 100 in the year 2002. Round to the nearest whole day. (Hint: t = 0 corresponds to the year 1990.)
