Answer:

Last year there were 550 bison in the heard and this year it is 10% larger.

10% is also 10/100 or 0.10

To find 10% of the heard last year

550 x.0.10 = 55. To find the number in the heard this year add 550 (last year) + 55 (10% growth) = 605 or,

to find how many there are now last years heard size was 100% of the heard or 1.00. To find any percent more add it to 1.00 and multiply by the starting amount.

550 x 1.10 = 605

For the second example.

If there are 550 bison in the heard this year, and this year was a decrease of 10% from last year we can express last year's number like this.

550 = (x - (x * 0.10)) simplify;

550 = 1x - 0.10x

550 = 0.90x

Divide both sides by 0.90

x = 611.11 but it's hard to have 0.11 of a bison so realistically 611 bison last year. Subtract 10% or 61 and you indeed have 550 this year.

Identify the quadratic function from the four functions

Alchen [17]

Quadratic Function is a function that takes the equation form of:

$\large \boxed{y = a {x}^{2} + bx + c}$

where a ≠ 0. However the form of Quadratic Function above can also be called "standard form" or general form because it is commonly used when defining the function. Quadratic Functions also have other two forms which are intercept form and vertex form.

Vertex Form

$\large \boxed{y = a {(x - h)}^{2} + k}$

Intercept Form

$\large \boxed{y = (ax - b)(bx - c)}$

The intercept form can be expressed as y = (x-a)(x-b) depending on the other perspective.

If you look at all four functions, you will notice that only two of functions have the second degree as highest degree while the third function has third degree as highest and fourth function has fourth degree. Recall the definition of Quadratic Function above that the highest degree of Quadratic Function can only be second degree (squared, x² as example). Therefore we can rule out the x³ and -2x⁴ away.

So our only quadratic functions are:

$\large{ \begin{cases}y = - {x}^{2} - 4 \\ y = {(x - 1)}^{2} - 7 \end{cases}}$
