Wym their was no growth rate it lost 53,500 in those 15 years at a rate of about 3,566 a year
Answer: x = 1/6 or x = 0.1666666666666...
Hope this helps!
Axis of symmetry = -b/2a
y + 3x - 6 = -3(x-2)² + 4
y + 3x - 6 = -3 ( x²-4x+4) + 4
y + 3x - 6 = -3x² + 12x -12 + 4
y + 3x - 6 = -3x² + 12x -8
y = -3x² + 12x - 3x -8 + 6
y = -3x² + 9x -2
(a=-3, b=9, c=-2)
Axis of symmetry = -b/2a = -9/2(-3) = -9 / -6 = -3 / -2 = 3/2
Hence, option A) x=3/2 is the correct answer.
