(Solution Download) The population of California was approximately 24 million in 1980

The population of California was approximately 24 million in 1980, 30 million in 1990, and 34 million in 2000. Construct a model for this data by finding a quadratic equation whose graph passes through the points (0,24), (10,30), and (20,34). Use this model to estimate the population in 2020. Do you think the estimate is plausible? Explain.
