We call the ratio between two directly proportional quantities the constant of proportionality. When two quantities are directly proportional, they increase and decrease at the same rate. While these two quantities may increase or decrease, the constant of proportionality always remains the same.
Write <u>two functions</u> that <u>describes</u> the <u>decrease of the population</u> after <u>t years.</u>
1. In one study, a population of 784 orangutans is expected to decrease at a rate of 25 orangutans per year. Then after t years the number of orngutans will be

2. In a second study, the population of a group of 817 orangutans is expected to decrease at a rate of 36 per year. Then after t years the number of orngutans will be

3. Equate right sides of the equations:

Answer: after 3 years
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear equation with one variable has the form of 
Since when you simplify you get
