[All Steps] Popping corn. If 1 gram of popcorn with moisture content x% is popped in a hot-air popper, then the volume of popped corn v (in cubic centimeters)


Question: Popping corn. If 1 gram of popcorn with moisture content \(x%\) is popped in a hot-air popper, then the volume of popped corn \(v\) (in cubic centimeters) that results is modeled by the formula

\[v=-94.8+21.4x-0.761{{x}^{2}}\]
  1. Use the formula to find the volume that results when 1 gram of popcorn with moisture content \(11 \%\) is popped.
  2. Use the accompanying graph to estimate the moisture content that will produce the maximum volume of popped corn.
  3. Use the graph to estimate the maximum possible volume for pupping 1 gram of popcorn in a hot-air popper.
