By solving a quadratic equation, it can be verified that

The owl population will disappear after 329.12 years

What is a quadratic equation?

At first it is important to know about equation

Equation shows the equality between two algebraic expressions by connecting the two algebraic expressions by an equal to sign.

A two degree equation is known as quadratic equation.

Here, a quadratic equation needs to be solved

The decreasing population, p, of owls in a national park is being monitored by ecologists and is modeled by the equation p= $-0. 4t^2+128t+1,200$

For population to disappear, p =0

$-0. 4t^2+128t+1,200 = 0\\0.4t^2 -128t - 1200 = 0\\4t^2 - 1280t - 12000 = 0\\4(t^2 - 320 t - 3000) = 0\\t^2 - 320t -3000 = 0\\t = \frac{-(-320)\pm \sqrt{(-320)^2 - 4 \times 1 \times (-3000)}}{2 \times 1}\\t = \frac{320 \pm 338.23}{2}\\t = \frac{320 + 338.23}{2} \ or \ t = \frac{320 - 338.23}{2}\\t = 329.115 \ or \ t = -9.115$
