Answer:
The time it will take the population to grow to 800 insects is 17 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
The growth function of the insects is exponential.
The exponential growth function is:

Here,
<em>y</em> = final value
<em>a</em> = initial value
<em>r</em> = growth rate
<em>t</em> = time taken
It is provided that there were 270 insects after 9 days and initially there were 80 insects.
Compute the value of <em>r</em> as follows:

Now, compute the time it will take the population to grow to 800 insects as follows:

Thus, the time it will take the population to grow to 800 insects is 17 days.
Answer:
f (x) = -2 (x + 6)^2 + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
f (x) = -2x^2 - 24x - 70 <--- divide out -2 out of the first two terms...
f (x) = -2 (x^2 + 12x) - 70 <-- divide the x coefficient by 2 and then square it, then add AND subtract it)
f (x) = -2 (x^2 + 12x + (12/2)^2 - (12/2)^2) - 70
f (x) = -2 (x^2 + 12x + 36 - 36) - 70 <--- distribute the -2 onto -36 to get it out of the brackets..
f (x) = -2 (x^2 + 12x + 36) + 72 - 70 <-- combine constants and factor perfect square trinomial...
f (x) = -2 (x + 6)^2 + 2 <-- standard form...
