The number of cell phones in the United States can be approximated by a quadratic function. In 1996 there were approximately 16 million cell phones, and in 2005 there were approximately 100 million. Let t be the number of years since 1996. The number of cell phones in 1996 is represented by (0, 16), and the number in 2005 is (9, 100). Let (0, 16) be the vertex.
