    For the equation:

    y = 20,646 · 0.86^x

    When: x = 11

    y = 20,646 · 0.86^11 = 20,646 · 0.19 = 3,929.33 ≈ 3,929

    Answer: D) $3,929

    For y = - 5.131 · x² + 31.821 x - 3.3333

    7 am - 5 am = 2, so: x = 2

    y (2) = - 5.131 · 2² + 31.821 · 2 - 3.3333 =

    = - 5.131 · 4 + 63.642 - 3.3333 = - 20.524 + 63.642 - 3.3333 = 39.78 ≈ 40

    Answer: B) 40.
