Lets say two numbers are x and y
x+y=70-----------------------eq1
x=4y--------------------eq2
4y+y=70
5y=70
y=70/5
y=14
then x=4*14
x=56
The function:
f ( x ) = x * 0.965^t
where x is the initial amount and t is the number of the years
80 = x * 0.965^3
80 = x * 0.89632
x = 80 : 0.89632 ≈ 89
Answer:
The initial amount of animals was 89.
17: 900 because 3,000 + 900 + 40 +7 is 3,947 or 3,947-3,000-40-7= 900
X=-.5, it’s less than 0, and concave up & increasing in this situation are the same.
