Suppose that the following table shows the annual sales, in millions of dollars, for Advanced Auto Parts and Auto Zone for 2000 through 2007. Find the least squares quadratic model for Advanced Auto Parts and use the model to predict sales for the year 10. Let t represent the year, with 
corresponding to 2000. Round all coefficients to two decimal places and the answer to nearest million dollars.

Solve the problem.The owners of a large factory complex plan to install a new network of water lines to supply water to five factory buildings. The building numbers of the buildings involved are: #12, #14, #15, #17, and #18. The distances in meters between these buildings are given in the following table.
a) Represent this information with a weighted, complete graph.b) Use Kruskal's algorithm to find a minimum-cost spanning tree that would link each building to give the least-expensive pipe network.c) If the water line cost is $700 per meter, determine the cost of the network in part (b).
