(a)

To determine

To calculate: The value of P for t=0,4,8,12,16,20 and 23 and also the meaning of each of these values, where P (in thousands) is the population of Brazil from 1990 through 2013 modeled by the equation P=−0.021t2+2.77t+148.9.

(b)

To determine

To calculate: The value of dPdt and explain its meaning in this situation, where P (in thousands) is the population of Brazil from 1990 through 2013 modeled by the equation P=−0.021t2+2.77t+148.9, where t is the year with t=0, corresponding to 1990.

(c)

To determine

To calculate: The value of dPdt for t=0,4,8,12,16,20 and 23 and also the meaning of each of these values, where P (in thousands) is the population of Brazil from 1990 through 2013 modeled by the equation P=−0.021t2+2.77t+148.9, where t is the year with t=0, corresponding to 1990.
