An exponential function 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

Step-by-step explanation:
well you didnt put the A B C or D answers but the answer is any ordered pair where the 8 is the y axis which is the second number in the ordered pair. Ex: (4,8)
NOT Ex: (8,4)
This number is approximately 42620%
We know that the shortest leg of the largest right triangle (hypotenuse length 16) has a length of the square root of (y^2 + 16) through the pythagoras theorem. We also know that x is equal to the square root of (144 + y^2) as well. Finally, we know that 256 = (y^2 + 16) + (y^2 + 144), since we use the pythagoras theorem one last time and square each of the values we have got for the two legs of the largest right triangle. Therefore, 256 = 2y^2 + 160, 96 = 2y^2, 48 = y^2, y= sqrt48 = 4sqrt3 =
