The minimum amount of energy that can be absorbed or released by matter is called

Quantum.

Explanation:

Quantum is defined as the discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation it represents.

It is the minimum amount of any physical entity (physical property) involved in an interaction or to put simply, it is defined as the minimum amount of energy that can be absorbed or released by matter.

i think they are all correct

explanation:

they seem good

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.
