Step-by-step explanation:
The population function of the Western Lowland Gorillas can either represent population growth or population decay
<h3>How to model the population</h3>The question is incomplete, as the resources to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas are not given.
So, I will give a general explanation to solve the question
A population function can be represented as:
Where:
- The initial population of the Western Lowland Gorillas is represented by (a)
- The rate at which the population changes is represented by (r)
- The number of years since 2022 is represented by (x)
- The population in x years is represented by (y)
From the question, we understand that the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas decreases.
This means that the rate of the function would be an exponential decay i.e. 1 -r
Take for instance:
By comparison.
a = 2000 and 1 - r = 0.98
The above function can be used to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas

Answer:
Part 1) The linear equation is
Part 2) if he has 90 protein bars left, then 52.5 days have passed
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to
where
y is the number of protein bars left
x is the number of days
m is the slope or unit rate
b is the y-intercept or initial value
In this problem we have
The slope is equal to
----> is negative because is a decreasing function
substitute
---> linear equation that represent this situation
If he has 90 protein bars left
so
For y=90
substitute in the linear equation and solve for x
therefore
if he has 90 protein bars left, then 52.5 days have passed
