Answer:

Orinal number of cats=  171

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Decrease in population= 30%

Current population= 120

<u>To calculate the original number of cats, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Orinal number of cats= current population / (1 - decrease)

Orinal number of cats= 120 / (1 - 0.3)

Orinal number of cats=  171

Does anyone else agree that the answer for this family of curves question is E, dy/dx = x + y?
neonofarm [45]
Yes this is the correct answer. The slope field shown is the differential equation dy/dx = x+y

All points along the line x+y = k, for some constant k, will have the same tangent slope k. For example, the line x+y = 0 will have every point with tangent slope 0 for the solution y(x). It may not be 100% clear, but this graph has horizontal tickmarks on the line x+y = 0, or the tickmarks are close to being horizontal. Using geogebra, I checked the others and they produced completely different graphs, which allowed me to rule them out.
