Chapter 1, Problem 38

(choose chapter or problem)

a. The alligator, at one time an endangered species, was the subject of a protection program. The formula

\(P=-10 x^{2}+475 x+3500\)

models the alligator population, \(P\), after \(x\) years of the protection program, where \(0 \leq x \leq 12\). How long did it take the population to reach \(5990\) alligators?

b. The graph of the formula modeling the alligator population is shown below. Identify your solution from part (a) as a point on the graph.
