Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h. k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
here (h, k) = (- 6, - 1), thus
y = a(x + 6)² - 1
To find a substitute one of the roots into the equation
Using (- 3, 0), then
0 = a(- 3 +6)² - 1
0 = 9a - 1 ( add 1 to both sides )
1 = 9a ( divide both sides by 9 )
a = , thus
y = (x + 6)² - 1 ← in vertex form
Expand factor and simplify
y = (x² + 12x + 36) - 1 ← distribute
y = x² +
x + 4 - 1
= x² +
x + 3 ← in standard form

Explanation:
<u>Equation:</u>
This is a decaying exponential function, because the exponent is negative.
Then, the larger the value of t (number of months), the smaller A (the number of hectares).
The factor 1,562.5 is the initial number of hecares, when t = 0.
You must find the value of t when A equals 500, thus solve the equation:
Divide both sides by 1,562.5
Take base-10 logarithms on both sides:
Note that the logarithm of a number decimal number is negative number, thus t will be positive. When you compute that, it is about 4.9 months.
