From the graph of a quadratic equation, you can find:
The roots. These are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis, and is the solution of the quadratic equation when y=0. Usually, there are either two or zero.
The coefficient of the leading term. In the quadratic equation y= ax^2 + bx + c,
the parabola points upward if a is positive, and downward if a is negative.
The vertex. You can find the vertex, or where the two sides of the parabola meet, by looking at the graph.
If you are asking for the answer the answer is 0.67.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
f(t) = 1.22·(173/122)^(t/5)
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) An exponential growth (or decay) function can be written using the form ...
f(t) = (initial value)·(ratio in period)^(t/period)
Here, we're given an initial value of 1.22, a growth ratio of 1.73/1.22 in a period of 5 years, so we can write the function as ...
f(t) = 1.22·(173/122)^(t/5)
__
(b) In 2038-2012 = 26 years, the value of the function is ...
f(26) = 1.22·(173/122)^(26/5) ≈ 7.50 . . . . million
