Answer:
f(2) = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Function f(t) is defined in three different ways depending on the value of t.
For t = 8, function f(t) is -64/t.
For t = 10, function f(t) is 14 - t.
We are not asked about f(8) or f(10). We are asked about f(2). The third definition of function f(t) is for all values of t that are not 8 or 10. 2 is not 8 or 10, so use the third definition of function f(t) and plug in 2 for t.
f(t) = t^2 - 3t + 2 for t not equal to 8 or 10.
f(2) = 2^2 - 3(2) + 2
f(2) = 4 - 6 + 2
f(2) = 0
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
We want to find the number of years that it will take the population to double.
To do this, we have to apply the exponential growth function:

where y = final value
a = initial value
r = rate of growth
t = time (in years)
For the population to double, it means that the final value must be 2 times the initial value:

Substitute the given values into the function above:

To solve further, convert the function from an exponential function to a logarithmic function as follows:

Solve for t:

It will take 9 years for the population to double.
y = 3x - 1
x - y = -9
Subs y in second equation.
x - (3x - 1) = -9
x - 3x + 1 = -9
-2x = -9 - 1
-2x = -10
x = -10/-2
x = 5
Subs x
y = 3x - 1
y = 3.5 - 1
y = 15 - 1
y = 14
