A girl pushes herself up a steep ramp in her wheelchair. She gains a vertical distance of
25.8 m when she reaches the top of the ramp.
She turns around and coasts back down the ramp.
If the combined mass of the girl and her wheelchair
is 64.6 kg, what would be her coasting speed at the
bottom of the ramp? Show all your work.

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.

i think the answer is a, hope this : )
