$6 ? 5+4 =9
9-3 =6
I don't know if this is correct but this is how I would do it

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the number of years. y is the population after x years.
Each year, the population decreases by 22%, since 100% - 22% = 78%, and 78% = 0.78, each year, the population is 0.78 of the previous year's population.
year zero: y = 300
year 1: y = 300 * 0.78 = 300 * (0.78)^1
year 2: y = (300 * 0.78) * 0.78 = 300 * (0.78)^2
year 3: y = ((300 * 0.78) * 0.78) * 0.78 = 300 * (0.78)^3
year x: y = 300(0.78)^x
The equation -3=x^2+4x+1 can be rearranged into x^2+4x+4=0, you should be able recognise that this is an equation of the form ax^2+bx+c (where a, b, and c are constants). The question tells you that the discriminant of an equation of form ax^2+bx+c is equal to b^2-4ac, therefore after rearranging the equation you simply substitute the numbers in:
a=1 b=4 c=4
b^2-4ac=(4)^2-4x(1)x(4)=16-16=0
Therefore the discriminant value is 0.
To determine the amount of real solutions an equation has you look at the discriminant, if the discriminant is less than 0 there are no real solutions, if the discriminant is equal to 0 there is one solution, and if the discriminant is more than 0 there are 2 solutions. therefore as our discriminant is equal to - there is 1 real solution.
