Answer:
The answer to your question is:
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
f(x) = -2x² + 8x - 2
Process
-2x² + 8x = y + 2
-2(x² - 4x + 4) = y + 2 - 8
-2(x - 2)² = y - 6
(x - 2)² = 1/2 (y - 6)
Vertex = (2, 6)
Axis of symmetry = x = 2
y-intercept
f(0) = -2(0)² + 8(0) - 2
f(0) = 0 + 0 - 2
f(0) = -2
Domain (-∞, ∞)
Range (-∞, 6]

The significance of 160,000 in the function is the initial population at the time of the estimation.
The correct option is (C)
<h3>What is data?</h3>A collection of facts, such as numbers, words, measurements, observations or even just descriptions of things.
Given:
As per the table attached below:
F(x) signify the total population when the time was x hour.
So, 160,000 in the function signifies that the population at starting i.e., initial point.
