1 Introduction to Rational Functions Work Together How many pounds of peanuts do you think and average person consumed last year? Us the table at the right. What was the average peanut consumption per person in the US in 1993? Year You can use the data in the table to model the average US consumption per person between 1970 and Let 0 represent Input the data into three lists on your calculator. Find a cubic function f () to model the annual consumption of peanuts. US Peanut US Consumption Population (millions of pounds) (millions) Find a quadratic function g() to represent the US population since Write a function h() to model the average peanut consumption in the US since Graph the function on your calculator you wrote to estimate the number of peanuts that were consumed by the average person last year.
