Scientists studied two animal populations. Function f(x) = 830(0.8)^x models a bear population in a given region x years after t

he study began. The table models the cougar population in the same region.
Year after study began: 0, 1, 2, 6, 15
Cougar population: 790, 735, 683, 511, 266
In the year the study began, how many more bears than cougars were in the given region.

Answer:

<h2>There were 40 more bears than cougars when the study started.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens:

  • f(x)=830(0.8)^{x}; where x refers to years after the study began, about bear population.
  • Table given is for cougar population.

So, the problem is asking how many more bears than cougars were in the given region. From the table, we know that there where 790 cougar when the study started.

Now, we have to calculate the initial condition of the function, because it's modelling bear population. Initial condition means when the study started, which is when x=0.

So, we have:

f(0)=830(0.8)^{0}=830(1)=830

So, there were 830 bears when the study started.

If we compare, we find that there were 40 more bears than cougars when the study started, because 830-790 = 40.

Whates 2 divided by 3 z= -6
GalinKa [24]

z = 20/3 = 6.667

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

2/3-(z-6)=0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

2

Simplify —

3

Equation at the end of step 1 :

2

— - (z - 6) = 0

3

Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :

z - 6 (z - 6) • 3

z - 6 = ————— = ———————————

1 3

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

2 - ((z-6) • 3) 20 - 3z

——————————————— = ———————

3 3

Equation at the end of step 2 :

20 - 3z

——————— = 0

3

Step 3 :

When a fraction equals zero :

3.1 When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

20-3z

————— • 3 = 0 • 3

3

Now, on the left hand side, the 3 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

20-3z = 0
