Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
 
        
             
        
        
        
P(1) = P(-1)
P(1) = 3 - a + b
P(-1) = -3 + a + b
-> 3 - a + b = -3 + a + b
-> 3 - a + b + 3 - a - b = 0
-> 6 - 2a = 0
-> a = 3.
P(2) = 24 - 2a + b -> 24 - (2a - b) = 16 -> 2a - b = 8
-> 6 - b = 8
b = -2.
So, a = 3 and b = -2
Recheck : P(1) = 3 - 3 + (-2) = -2
P(-1) = -3 + 3 + (-2) = -2 => P(1) = P(-1) (true)
P(2) = 24 - 6 + (-2) = 16.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
511 employees
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
P=690
rate= 2%
time = 13 years
let us apply the simple interest formula 
A=P(1-rt)
Note the  negative sign (since we are dealing with decrease)
A= 690(1-0.02*13)
A=690(1-0.26)
A=690*0.74
A=510.6
A= 511 approx
Hence the population will reduce to 511 employees
