Awildlife preservation group records the number of squirrels in a city park. the first count recorded is 30 squirrels. a second count of 60 squirrels is recorded six months later, and 120 squirrels are counted at the end of one year. assuming that no squirrel dies and the growth rate remains the same, which function represents the number of squirrels after x years?

The answer is:

The function that represents the number of squirrels after x years, is described by the following equation:

From the statement we know that the squirrel's population doubles every six months, it started with 30 squirrels, after six months there are 60 squirrels and six months later (end of one year) there is a population of 120 squirrels.

So, doubles every six months (rate) , and 6 months are 0.5 year

Writing the equation:

Where,

Then, substituting the rate into the equation, we have:

Let's prove that the equation works

Evaluating the population after: 0.5 year, 1 year, 1.5 years and 2 years:

Population after 0.5 year:

Population after 1 year:

Population after 1.5 years:

Population after 2 years:

So, the equation works.

Have a nice day!

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.

to find the perimeter of the rectangle this is the expression:

x-9+x-9+3x-4+3x-4=138

if we simplify it:

8x-26=138

remember, 138 is what it all adds up to

the length is 11.5cm

the width is 57.5cm

the area is 661.25cm^2
