A biologist studied the populations of white-sided jackrabbits and black-tailed jackrabbits over a 5-year period. He modeled the populations, in thousands, with the following polynomials where π‘₯ is time, in years.
White-sided jackrabbits: 6.5π‘₯^2 βˆ’ 8.7π‘₯ + 5.9
Black-sided jackrabbits: 6.5π‘₯^2 + 9.2π‘₯ + 1.2
What polynomial models the total number of white-sided and black-sided jackrabbits?

6.5π‘₯^2 βˆ’ 8.7π‘₯ + 5.9 + 6.5π‘₯^2 + 9.2π‘₯ + 1.2
= (6.5+6.5) x^2 + (9.2-8.7) x +(5.9+1.2)

the answer is 11x^2+0.7x+8.2
Answered by ben dover is wrong
Ben, ur answer is wrong bcz the reason u got is

white-sided jackrabbits: 5.5xΒ² – 9.2x + 6.9
black-tailed jackrabbits: 5.5xΒ² + 9.9x + 1.3

= 11x^2+0.7x+8.2

were talking abt

White-sided jackrabbits: 6.5π‘₯^2 βˆ’ 8. 7π‘₯ + 5. 9

Black-sided jackrabbits: 6.5π‘₯^2 + 9. 2π‘₯ + 1. 2
