Assume (unrealistically) that a TV station acts as a point source broadcasting isotropically at 1.9 MW. What is the intensity of the transmitted signal reaching a nearby star that is 39 ly away. (An alien civilization at that distance might be able to watch X Files.) A light-year (ly) is the distance light travels in one year.

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.
