The population function of the Western Lowland Gorillas can either represent population growth or population decay
<h3>How to model the population</h3>
The question is incomplete, as the resources to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas are not given.
However, the following is a general guide to solve the question.
An exponential function is represented as:

Where:
- (a) represent the initial value i.e. the initial population of the Western Lowland Gorillas
- (r) represents the rate at which the population increases or decreases.
- (x) represents the number of years since 2022
- (y) represents the population in x years
Given that the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas decreases, then the rate of the function would be 1 -r (i.e. an exponential decay)
Take for instance:

By comparison.
a = 2000 and 1 - r = 0.98
The above function can be used to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas

<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>
A pyramid has a square base with sides of length s. The height of the pyramid is equal to 1/2 of the length of a side on the base. Which formula represents the volume of the pyramid?
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>
<em><u>The formula represents the volume of the pyramid is:</u></em>

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
<em><u>The volume of square pyramid is given by formula:</u></em>

Where, "h" is the height of pyramid
"a" is the length of side of base
Here given that, pyramid has a square base with sides of length s
Therefore,
a = s
The height of the pyramid is equal to 1/2 of the length of a side on the base

<em><u>Thus the volume of pyramid becomes:</u></em>


Thus the formula represents the volume of the pyramid is

George's mistake would be:
Instead of 2x + 40, she has made - x + 20.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope - Intercept Form = y = mx + b
y + 20 = 2(x +20)
y + 20 = 2x + 40
- 20 - 20
----------------------
y = 2x + 20
(Should have been the answer)
BUT,
George's Solving:
y + 20 = 2(x + 20)
y + 20 = -x + 20
George's Mistake would be her miscalculation during her 2nd step. Where instead of distributing 2 to (x + 20), she has changed it to -x + 20, when in reality, it should have been 2x + 40.
