Answer:

456 squirrels

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following formula:

N = M * C / R

Where "N" is the estimated population size, "M" is the number of individuals already tagged, "C" is the total number of those caught the second time regardless of whether or not they are tagged, and "R" is the total number of tagged recaptured individuals.

Now, replacing we have:

N = 114 * 96/24

N = 456

Therefore, there are approximately 456 squirrels in the conservation area.

10% of 44 is 4.4 and 5% is 2.2 so 6.6 is 15% so an estimate of 8 is the most accurate

What are the vertical asymptote(s) and hole(s) for the graph of y= x-1 over X squared + 6x+ 8
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

You have vertical asymptotes on x=-4,-2

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is very simple. Since you have a denominator all you need to do is factor the bottom and find the zeros. When you factor the bottom of the equation you should get (x+4)(x+2). Now you have to set the bottom equal to zero to find the zeros. This means (x+4)=0 and (x+2)=0 So you get two answers x=-4 and x=-2 Therefore your two vertical asymptotes are on x-4,-2
