You can see how this works by thinking through what's going on.
In the first year the population declines by 3%. So the population at the end of the first year is the starting population (1200) minus the decline: 1200 minus 3% of 1200. 3% of 1200 is the same as .03 * 1200. So the population at the end of the first year is 1200 - .03 * 1200. That can be written as 1200 * (1 - .03), or 1200 * 0.97
What about the second year? The population starts at 1200 * 0.97. It declines by 3% again. But 3% of what??? The decline is based on the population at the beginning of the year, NOT based no the original population. So the decline in the second year is 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97). And just as in the first year, the population at the end of the second year is the population at the beginning of the second year minus the decline in the second year. So that's 1200 * 0.97 - 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97), which is equal to 1200 * 0.97 (1 - 0.03) = 1200 * 0.97 * 0.97 = 1200 * 0.972.
So there's a pattern. If you worked out the third year, you'd see that the population ends up as 1200 * 0.973, and it would keep going like that.
So the population after x years is 1200 * 0.97x
X= -4; f(x)= -15
X= 2; f(x)= 3
X=5; f(x)= 12
This is an inappropriate conclusion because of <u>D. At 10 months</u>, ninety percent of toddlers have not reached the developmental milestones to walk.
<h3>What is an inappropriate conclusion?</h3>
An inappropriate conclusion is one arrived at without a proper research design. An inappropriate conclusion can also be reached when the interpretation of the research result is not based on the findings.
Our conclusion implies that there is a wrong interpretation of the research findings because of the researcher's bias.
Thus, the research conclusion is <u>inappropriate</u> because of Option D.

Answer:
$7,562.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function of the profit earned expressed as;
<em>f(p) =-40p^2+1100p</em>
To maximize the profit, df(p)/dp must be sero
df(p)/dp = -80p + 1100 = 0
-80p + 1100 = 0
-80p = - 1100
p = 1100/80
p = 13.75
Substitute p = 13.75 into the function
f(13.75) =-40(13.75)^2+1100(13.75)
f(13.75) = -7,562.5+15,125
f(13.75) = 7,562.5
Hence the symphony should charge $7,562.5 to maximize the profit.
<span>x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 105.25
"Completing the square" is one of many different techniques for solving a quadratic equation. What you do is add a constant to both sides of the equation such that the lefthand side can be factored into the form a(x+d)^2. For instance, squaring (X+D) = X^2 + 2DX + D^2. Notice the 2DX term. That is the same term as the 15x term in the problem. So 2D = 15, D = 7.5. And D^2 = 7.5^2 = 56.25.
So we have
x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 49 + 56.25
Which is
x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 105.25
Which is the answer desired.
Now the rest of this is going beyond the answer. Namely, it's answering the question "Why does complementing the square help?"
Well, we know that the left hand side of the equation can now be written as
(x+7.5)^2 = 105.25
Now take the square root of each side
(x+7.5) = sqrt(105.25)
And let's use both the positive and negative square roots.
So
x+7.5 = 10.25914226
and
x+7.5 = -10.25914226
And let's find X.
x+7.5 = 10.25914226
x = 2.759142264
x+7.5 = -10.25914226
x = -17.75914226
So the roots for x^2 + 15x - 49 is 2.759142264, and -17.75914226</span>
