(a) Use the data to create a model of the form y=ax2+bx+cy = a x ^ { 2 } + b x + c
(b) Use the model to approximate the number of adults in the county who will have a college degree for the Year 2015.


A) y=10x2+18x+52;452,500y = 10 x ^ { 2 } + 18 x + 52 ; 452,500 adults
B) y=6x2+4x+10;180,000y = 6 x ^ { 2 } + 4 x + 10 ; 180,000 adults
C) y=8x2+2.5x+10;452,500y = - 8 x ^ { 2 } + 2.5 x + 10 ; 452,500 adults
D) y=2.5x28x+10;180,000y = 2.5 x ^ { 2 } - 8 x + 10 ; 180,000 adults
