Solve the Problem by Using a Nonlinear System #1\# 1 And City

Question 168

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem by using a nonlinear system.
-In 1982, City #1\# 1 and City #2\# 2 had the same population. The population of City #2\# 2 continued to increase steadily, while the rate of population growth of City #1\# 1 (although initially less than that of City \#2) eventually overtook the growth rate of City \#2. The populations of two cities are modeled by the following equations: City #1:y=2x2+15x+1192\# 1: y=2 x^{2}+15 x+1192 ; City #2:y=25x+1192\# 2: y=25 x+1192 , where x=0x=0 corresponds to the year 1982. In what year after 1982 did the cities have the same population?


A) 1987
B) 1988
C) 1986
