Answer 1

Scientists studied two animal populations. Function f(x) = 830(0.8)x models a bear population in a given region x years after the study began. The table models the cougar population in the same region.

Use the table of data to interpret a linear function.
Fifteen years after the study began, about how many times greater was the cougar population than the bear population?

Answer 3

plug in 15 into f(x) to get the bear population. What do you get?

Answer 4

12
830 * 12=9960

Answer 5

Is the x an exponent in that equation?

Answer 6

sorry yes thereofore
.035
830 * 0.35=290.5

Answer 7

I think you moved the decimal place. Keep it as 0.035
830*0.035 = 29.05

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

Then, from the table, in year 15 the cheetah pop. is 266

266/29.05 = 9.2

So that would be C because 9.2 = 9
