n Illinois farmer Iim laylor is negotiating a contract to cash farm a piece of ground along the Salt Fork River in Vermilion County. Needing an estimate of the acreage involved and not having time to wait for a surveying crew, he goes out in the field and makes some measurements along the boundary of the field. Here is a picture reporting his measurements (all in feet): e A P = K[0,1712], [10, 1792], [21, 1872],[30, 1948], [40, 2031], [50, 2114], [60, 2193], [71,2264], [80, 2336. ************ ***** ** ** NO NEEDO TOMAJEE** 3x10+003- 2x10+003- 1x10+003- 0 Graph Building Blocks Scatter plot of f P x colored Red 200 - 60 ... 600 = left...right - 100... 3500-bottom...top cropping Moderately Stretch to Fit 400 where k 1...

Tim thinks: "I can get out my calculator and get an estimate of the total acreage, but that's going to take a lot of finger punching and I've got better things to do with my time." Knowing that you have access to LiveMath, he calls you up and asks you to carry out the calculation on LiveMath. You say: "Sure, but first tell me how many square feet are in one acre." Tim replies that there are 43560 square feet in one acre. Give Tim his estimate. -⠀I>* 19
