Question

SOMEONE PLZ HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Due to conservation efforts, the gray whale has been removed from the endangered species list. There are now 13,000 in the world, and the population is expected to grow by 11% yearly. Write an equation that models this scenario.

y = 13,000(1.89)x
y = 13,000(0.11)x
y = 13,000(0.89)x
y = 13,000(1.11)x

Answer 1

It is B.

Explanation:

I am 99% sure im correct. dont get mad at me if im not

Answer 2

y = 13,000(1.11)x

Explanation:

According to the problem, the population is expected to grow by 11% yearly. So, the equation that best model this scenario is the last option.

We can get this answer just by observing the coefficient of the variable, it has to indicate more than 1 or 100%, that's why it cannot bet 0.11x, because that shows a decrease.

So, an increase of 11%, would be 100% + 11%, which is 111% or 1.11.

Therefore, the right answer is the last option: y = 13,000(1.11)x
