As a superhero, what are the advantages or disadvantages of using non-contact forces (like magnetic and electrical fields produce) to interact with objects or individuals?

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.

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.
