5. A wooded area in a state park has a mixture of different types of trees. There are 800 pine trees and 50 oak trees. The numbe

r of pine trees is decreasing at a rate of 5% per year. The number of oak trees is increasing at a rate of 15% per year. If these trends continue:
A. Write two functions to model this situation and graph those two functions on the same coordinate grid. Two functions for this model would be:
y = 800(.95)^x
y = 50(1.15)^x
B. During what year in the future will the park have approximately the same number of pine and maple trees?

The functions in part A are correct, we will now use them to solve for part B.
We equate the numbers of the trees in order to find x, which the number of years after which they will be equal.
800(0.95)ˣ = 50(1.15)ˣ
40 = (1.15 / .95)ˣ
Taking log₁₀ on both sides,
log(40) = x*log(1.15/0.95)
x = 19.31 years

Answer:

A. -0.93

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a negative due to the scatter plot line decreasing as the precipitation increases, which cancels out C & D. Then, it is decreasing rapidly, which portrays it as closer to -1 than 0, meaning the answer is A.

-7^-2<br>does anyone know ?
Leno4ka [110]

Negative exponents mean that you flip the number upside down

so -7^-2 would become 1/-7^2

-7^2 would be 49

so the answer is <em>1/49</em>
