Y = x^2 + 2x - 1 = x^2 + 2x + 1 - 1 - 1 = (x + 1)^2 - 2
The vertex of a parabola given by y = a(x - h)^2 + k is (h, k).
Therefore, the vertex of y = (x + 1)^2 - 2 is (-1, -2)

Happy studying!
This should be recognized as the difference of perfect squares which is of the form:
(a^2-b^2) and the difference of squares always factors to:
(a-b)(a+b) in this case:
(3x-8)(3x+8)
Firstly, the rate of increase of Canton = 80/7720 = 0.010
The rate of increase of HP = 120/3200 = 0.0375
Apply the formula of compound interest==> A =A'(1+i)^n
The population will be equal when the following equality is satisfied
7720(1+0.01)^n = 3200(1+0.0375)^n
or
7720x1.01^n = 3200x1.0375^n
Divide both sides by 3200 ===>(193/80)x1.01^n=1.0375^n
