Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:

It all depends on the fraction.
1/2=.5 because half of 1 is .5 and half can be represented as 2
Answer:
D. Minimum at (3, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can add and subtract the square of half the x-coefficient:
y = x^2 -6x +(-6/2)^2 +16 -(-6/2)^2
y = (x -3)^2 +7 . . . . . simplify to vertex form
Comparing this to the vertex for for vertex (h, k) ...
y = (x -h)^2 +k
We find the vertex to be ...
(3, 7) . . . . vertex
The coefficient of x^2 is positive (+1), so the parabola opens upward and the vertex is a minimum.
The solution for this problem is:
The population is 500 times bigger since 8000/24 = 500. The population after t days is computed by:P(t) = P₀·4^(t/49)
Solve for t: 8000 = 8·4^(t/49) 1000 = 4^(t/49) log₄(1000) = t/49t = 49log₄(1000) ≅ 244 days
