Not really sure but 4 and the other - and the 0 so yes.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Unless we set x^2 + 8x + 15 equal to zero, we don't have an equation to be solved. I will assume that the problem is actually x^2 + 8x + 15 = 0.
The coefficients of this quadratic are {1, 8, 15}, and so the "discriminant" b^2 - 4ac is (8)^2 - 4(1)(15), or 4. Because the discriminant is positive, we know that there are two real, unequal roots.
Continuing with the quadratic formula and knowing that the discriminant is 4, we get:
-8 ± √4 -8 ± 2
x = ---------------- = --------------- , or x = -2 ± 1: x = -3 and x = -5

Answer:
An annual increase of 1000 means that the number by which the population increases is constant, which means that the population cannot be modeled with an exponential growth function, it is modeled by a linear growth function.
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear growth:
The number by which it increases is constant.
Exponential growth:
The rate which it increases is constant, that is, a proportion of population.
Annual increase of 1,000.
An annual increase of 1000 means that the number by which the population increases is constant, which means that the population cannot be modeled with an exponential growth function, it is modeled by a linear growth function.
