Suppose that poaching reduces the population of an endangered animal by 6​% per year. Further suppose that when the population o

f this animal falls below 20​, its extinction is inevitable​ (owing to the lack of reproductive options without severe​ in-breeding). If the current population of the animal is 1500​, when will it face​ extinction? Comment on the validity of this exponential model.

If poaching reduces the population of an endangered animal by 6% and the criteria of population extinction is 20 with present population 1500 then it will take 3.62 years to reach to the mark of extinction.

Given Poaching reduces the population of endangered animals by 6% per year. The criteria of population extinction is 20. Present population being 1500.

Number of years taken by the population of endangered animals to reach to 20 mark can be calculated as under:

20=1500*(1-0.06)^{n}

20=1500*0.94^{n}

20/1500=0.94^{n}

0.133=0.94^{n}

take log both sides

log(0.133)=log0.94^{n}-------1

log(0.133)=nlog (0.94)

put the values log values:

log(0.133)=-0.8761

log(0.94)=-0.0268

Taking 1

-0.8761=n*(-0.0268)

n=0.8761/0.0268

n=3.269

Hence to reach level of 20 the population takes 3.2 years.

Which function has the same graph as x + y = 112 OA x) = -y + 11 OB. f(x) = -x + 11 Oc. x) = x- 11 O D. x) = y-11​
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

B. f(x) = -x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

First if you rearrange the equation you get f(x) = -x + 11, like this:

x + y = 11

Minus x from both sides

y = -x + 11

F(x) and y are interchangeable so we just put f(x) in

f(x) = -x + 11

Each of the graphs are attached and we see that they are the same!

Which statements are true about David's work? Check all that apply. The GCF of the coefficients is correct. The GCF of the varia
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The GCF of the coefficients is correct.

The variable c is not common to all terms, so a power of c should not have been factored out.

In step 6, David applied the distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial :

80b⁴ – 32b²c³ + 48b⁴c

The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the coefficients:

80, 32, 48

Factors of :

80 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, and 80

32 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32

48 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48.

GCF = 16

b⁴, b², b⁴

b⁴ = b * b * b * b

b² = b * b

b⁴ = b * b * b * b

GCF = b*b = b²

GCF of c³ and c

c³ = c * c * c

c = c

GCF = c

We can see that David's GCF of the coefficients are all correct

From the polynomial ; 80b⁴ does not contain c ; so factoring out c is incorrect

In step 6 ; the distributive property was used to obtain ; 16b²c(5b² – 2c² + 3b²)
