Answer:
option 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Larger the value of '' a '' makes the parabola narrow.
A positive value of '' a '' which is close to 0 makes the parabola wide.
<em><u>To find the widest graph , find the smallest </u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u>. (or </u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u> closest to zero)</u></em>
option 1
option 2
option 3
option 4
Positive and negative value of ' a ' decides the direction the parabola opens.
But we have to find the widest parabola irrespective of the direction.
So we will find the smallest ' a '

Answer:
39858075
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
One basic way to see it is to compute the values.
75 = 25 * 3
225 = 75 * 3
675 = 225 * 3
etc ...
We can notice that this is multiplied by 3 every 10 years so we can compute as below.
year population
1970 25
1980 75
1990 225
2000 675
2010 2025
2020 6075
2030 18225
2040 54675
2050 164025
2060 492075
2070 1476225
2080 4428675
2090 13286025
2100 39858075
So the correct answer is 39858075
Hope this helps.
Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.
Thank you
The trial and error method is used to find an initial factor:
If we let f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 and all we have to do is sub' in values of x until
f(x) = 0, we can use this to find an initial factor by the factor theorem:
f(1) = (1)³ - (1)² - 24(1) - 36 = -60
f(2) = (2)³ - (2)² - 24(2) - 36 = -80
f(5) = (5)³ - (5)² - 24(5) - 36 = -56
*** f(6) = (6)³ - (6)² - 24(6) - 36 = 0 ***
f(6) = 0 so (x - 6) is a factor of f(x).
This means that: f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 = (x - 6)(ax² + bx + c).
To find a,b and c, use long division (or inspection) to divide x³ - x² - 24x - 36 by x - 6.
The other 2 factors of f(x) can then be found by factorizing the
ax² + bx + c quadratic the way you would with any other quadratic (i.e. by quadratic formula, CTS or inspection).
