6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for this is 3x + 5x + 4x = 600 where x is the same amount of money multiplied by the scalar value to ensure the money is divided in that ratio exactly. That gives us 12x = 600.

x = 50.

The largest value is 5(50) = 250 and

the smallest value is 3(50) = 150.

The difference between these is $100.

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:

$y = a(1 \pm r)^x$

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:

$y = 2000 * 0.98^x$
