Question:

The population of the state of Georgia (in thousands) from 1995 1t = 02 to 2005 (t = 10) is modeled by the polynomial p(t) = -0.27t2 + 101t + 7055.

a. Determine the average growth rate from 1995 to 2005.

b. What was the growth rate for Georgia in 1997 (t = 2) and 2005 (t = 10)?

c. Use a graphing utility to graph p', for 0 ≤ t ≤ 10. What does this graph tell you about population growth in Georgia during the period of time from 1995 to 2005?
