Question

5. A scientist is performing a study on mosquitoes. She collects water with

mosquito larvae and places it in an enclosed container in her lab. The
scientist uses the data from the study to create the function,
M(t) = -3t2 +57t - 144, where t is the number of days in the study.
Part A: Which equivalent form of M(t) reveals when the mosquitoes first
appeared in the container and when there were no more
mosquitoes in the container?
A
в)
M(t) = -3(t - 16)(t - 3)
M(t) = -3(t - 19)2 + 217
M(t) = -3tt - 48)
M(t) = -3t(t - 19) - 144
D

Answer 1

M(t) = -3(t - 16)(t - 3)
