The population of fish in a pond in relation to the number of years since stocking is depicted on a graph. For the first few yea
rs after the pond is stocked, the population grows slowly. It increases more quickly as the fish reproduce, then it levels off. A pollutant kills off almost all of the fish 20 years after stocking. The population begins to grow again when the remaining fish reproduce. Which graph depicts the situation described above?

So since the vertex falls onto the axis of symmetry, we can just solve for that to get the x-coordinate of both equations. The equation for the axis of symmetry is , with b = x coefficient and a = x^2 coefficient. Our equations can be solved as such:
y = 2x^2 − 4x + 12:
y = 4x^2 + 8x + 3:
In short, the vertex x-coordinate's of y = 2x^2 − 4x + 12 is 1 while the vertex's x-coordinate of y = 4x^2 + 8x + 3 is -1.
