document.write( "Suppose instead that the town experiences quadratic growth of the form P=8t^2+Po where t is the time in years from 2010.<BR>\n" );
document.write( "a) Insert the valu8e of Po that your group has decided upon inot the equation.  Use t^2 to type t-squared.<BR>\n" );
document.write( "   I decided to use 40 to substitute for Po.  I think that my equation should look like this P=8t^2+40 I hope that this part i got it right.  my other question is part of this equation.  <BR>\n" );
document.write( "c) Use your equation from part a to approximate how many years it will take for the population to reach 7,000.  Round to the nearest whole year when neccessary.  The only thing i know is that my equation should look like this 7000=8t^2+40 and thats all i know.  I need help on how to go about this equation and still answer the question.  Can someone please help me.  I need someone to answer me A.S.A.P.  I just want to say something the Po looks like a P with a 0 under and very little i hope i made myself clear and understandable.   </SPAN>\n" );
