The population of Malawi in 2016 was about 17.7 million. The population tends to increase by about 3% per year. Which equation determines the estimated population in millions t years after 2016?
OP = 17.7(1.03)^t
O P = 17.7(0.03)^t
OP = 17.7(0.97)^t
OP = 17.7(3)^t

First locate the turning point (vertex) of the graph. which is at the coordinates x=5 and y=9 or (5; 9).to determine whether it's a maximum or mininum value, you have to discern whether the vertex's y-value is the highest value or lowest value the graph can reach. since the vertex's y-value, 9 is the highest value the graph can reach, it will be a maximum.another basic way to determine whether the vertex's value is max or min is to see if the graph is smiling or sad. if it's smiling, the turning point/vertex would be a minimum, while a sad parabola would have a maximum y-value at the vertex.
