The population, P (t), of an Ontario city is modeled by the function p(t) = 14t^2 + 650t + 32,000. If t = 0 corresponds to the year 2,000. When was the population 25,000?

The population of the city was 25,000 in 1970 and 1983.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the year at which the population was 25,000 we need to make p(t) equal to that number and solve for t as shown below.

Since t = 0 corresponds to the year 2000, then t1 = 1983 and t2 = 1970.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."

you didn't give me the choices, so i will just give you the graph so you can look at your choices and choose the right one.
