While driving on Fairway Drive, you see a pedestrian in the crosswalk, so you step on the brakes. If you decelerate at a rate of -2.4m/s2 and you were originally driving at a rate of 24 miles per hour (*hint convert to m/s), how long would it take you to come to a full stop. Please give your answer in seconds.

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.
