its 1200 i think i work it out but i could have done it wrong

the equation is a quadratic one, and it has a positive coefficient on the leading term, meaning, is opening upwards, so it has a "burrow" for the vertex.
the minimum or lowest point for a quadratic opening upwards is, well, the vertex point :), the "x" value is the year, the "y" or f(x) value is the population, we're asked for the year, or the x-coordinate of the vertex
well
I am sure that This one would be c
Answer:
D. y²/5² - x²/8² = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
A and B are both incorrectly oriented, and D is the only hyperbola that contains the points (0,5) and (0,-5).
Verification (0,5) and (0,-5) are in the hyperbola:
First replace x and y with corresponding x and y values (We will start with x=0 and y=5)

Then simplify.



If the result is an equation (where both sides are equal to each other) then the original x and y values inputted are valid. The same is true with x and y inputs x=0 and y=-5, or any other point along the hyperbola.
