The answer is C. The rate the population increases. The 960 in the equation represents the population at a certain number of weeks which is x. The starting population describes the quantity 15. The number of weeks that have passed is described as the 6 weeks.
The equation would be described as: f(x) =15*(2^x) and f(x) =960

Answer:
there is an extra square missing
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>f(x) = one eighth (x - 2)^2 - 1
Since a parabola is the curve such that all points on the curve have the same distance from the directrix as the distance from the point to the focus.With that in mind, we can quickly determine 3 points on the parabola. The 1st point will be midway between the focus and the directrix, So:
(2, (1 + -3)/2) = (2, -2/2) = (2,-1).
The other 2 points will have the same y-coordinate as the focus, but let offset on the x-axis by the distance from the focus to the directrix. Since the distance is (1 - -3) = 4, that means the other 2 points will be (2 - 4, 1) and (2 + 4, 1) which are (-2, 1) and (6, 1). The closest point to the focus will have the same x-coordinate as the focus, so the term will be (x-2)^2. This eliminates the functions "f(x) = -one eighth (x + 2)^2 - 1" and "f(x) = -one half (x + 2)^2 - 1" from consideration since their x term is incorrect, leaving only "f(x) = one eighth (x - 2)^2 - 1" and "f(x) = one half (x - 2)^2 + 1" as possible choices. Let's plug in the value 6 for x and see what y value we get from squaring (x-2)^2. So:
(x-2)^2
(6-2)^2 = 4^2 = 16
Now which option is equal to 1? Is it one eighth of 16 minus 1, or one half of 16 plus 1?
16/8 - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1
16/2 + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9
Therefore the answer is "f(x) = one eighth (x - 2)^2 - 1"</span>
