Answer:

Squirrel population is 440 squirrels.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that there are 22 squirrels are marked.

Later the company returned and counted a total of 220 squirrels of which are marked were 11.

So, we can set up proportional equation to find the squirrel population.

Let squirrel population is x.

We can set up proportional equation as

\frac{11}{220}=\frac{22}{x}

Cross multiply

11 x=4840

Divide both sides by 11

x=440

Best estimate is 440.

200+12m= 644
subtract 200 from both sides
12m= 444
divide both sides by 12
m= 37

Hello,

A: roots: -1,-3
a point (-2,1)
Vertex=((-2,1)

y=k*(x+1)(x+3) using roots
but k*(-2+1)(-2+3)=1==>k*(-1)*1=1==>k=-1

eq: y=-(x+1)(x+3)
==>y=-(x²+3x+x+3)
==>y=-x²-4x-3
y=k(x+2)²+1 if x=-1,y=0 ==>k*1+1=0==>k=-1
==>y=-(x+2)²+1

Answer :A--> R,K

B)
y=k(x+4)²-2 and k=-1/2
y=-1/2(x+4)²-2
y=-1/2x²-4x-10

answer B--> I,≈W if it is written -1/2*x²  (square has been forgotten)

C:
y=2x²-16x+30
y=2(x-4)²-2
answer : C-->S,J

D:
y=-(x+3)(x+1)
y=-x²-4x-3
=-(x+2)²+1
answer D--> V,L

E:
Here there is a problem: or the graph is wrong, or 2 equations are missing!

y=1(x+1)(x-3) using roots
y=x²-2x-3 ≈ T si it were -2x and not +2x.

y=(x-1)²-4 ≈H is it were -1 in place of +1 [H:y=(x+1)²-4]
