The population of a certain country was approximately 50 million in 1900, 200 million in 1950, and 375 million in 2000. Construct a model for this data by finding a quadratic equation whose graph passes through the points (0,50). (50,200), and (100,375). Use this model to estimate the population in 2050. Let x be the number of years since 1900 and y be the population in millions. y = [ (Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression.) According to the model, what will the population be in the year 2050? y = million
