The Amazon rainforest is gradually being destroyed by pollution and agricultural and industrial development. For simplicity, suppose that each year, 10% of the remaining forest is destroyed. Assume, also for simplicity, that the present area of the Amazon rainforest is 1,200,000 square miles.
1.a) What will the area of the forest be after 1 year of this destruction process?
1.b) What will the area of the forest be after 2 years of this destruction process?
2) Make a graph showing your results from Question 1 and continuing through 5 years of the destruction process. Include the present situation as a point on your graph.
3) Find a rule for how much rain forest will remain after X years. That is, express the area of the rain forest as a function of X.
I think the answer is 3, -8/2 / 6/-3 .... then you flip and multiply to get to -8/2 x -3/6 which = 24/8 which is equal to 3
Answer:
The point moves down 2 spaces
Step-by-step explanation:
y-2 means that it moves negitive two on the y-axis.
Answer:
Cluster Sample
Step-by-step explanation:
According to ThoughtCo., "A cluster sample involves using a simple random sample of evident groups that the population contains." Since only the first students that enter the cafeteria are surveyed, not all grade levels are included. Since most schools do lunch by grade, only a certain grade would get to have a say, so there could be some bias.
(Edit: Looking back on this it might could be a convenience sample but it depends on what the answer choices are)
Answer:
5x -1
Step-by-step explanation:
(6x – 8) + (–x + 7)
Combine like terms
6x -x -8+7
5x -1
