Answer:

The population alternates between increasing and decreasing

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The options of the question are</em></u>

A) The population density decreases each year.

B) The population density increases each year.

C) The population density remains constant.

D) The population alternates between increasing and decreasing

we have

a_n=2.9(a_n_-_1)-0.2(a_n_-_1)^2

a_1=8

Find the value of a_2

For n=2

a_2=2.9(a_1)-0.2(a_1)^2

a_2=2.9(8)-0.2(8)^2=10.4

Find the value of a_3

For n=3

a_3=2.9(a_2)-0.2(a_2)^2

a_3=2.9(10.4)-0.2(10.4)^2=8.528

For n=4

a_4=2.9(a_3)-0.2(a_3)^2

a_4=2.9(8.528)-0.2(8.528)^2=10.1858

For n=5

a_5=2.9(a_4)-0.2(a_4)^2

a_5=2.9(10.1858)-0.2(10.1858)^2=8.7887

therefore

The population alternates between increasing and decreasing

The function f(x) = x2. The graph of g(x) is f(x) translated to the right 3 units and down 3 units. What is the function rule fo
Kaylis [27]

The rule for g(x) is: f(x) = (x-3)^2-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is:

f(x) = x^2

When a function f(x) is shifted right or left, b units the new function is written as:

f(x) = x

Shifting right

g(x) = f(x-b)

Shifting left

g(x) = f(x+b)

Similarly, when shifting up or down

g(x) = f(x)+b => Up\\g(x) = f(x) - b => Down

As our given function is shifted 3 units to the right, it will be written as:

f(x) = (x-3)^2

The function is when moved down 3 units, then

f(x) = (x-3)^2-3

Hence

The rule for g(x) is: f(x) = (x-3)^2-3
