Question

Barney is an ecologist who studies the change in the tiger population of Siberia over time.

The relationship between the elapsed time t, in decades, since Barney started studying the
population, and the number of tigers, N(t), is modeled by the following function:
N(t) = 710*(8/125)^t
Complete the following sentence about the rate of change in the tiger population. Round your
answer to two decimal places.

The tiger population loses 3/5 of its size ever decades.

Answer 1

This statement is incorrect

Explanation:

The rate of change in the tiger population is not described by the function given. The function N(t) represents the number of tigers at a given time t, but does not provide information about the rate at which the population is changing. To determine the rate of change, we would need additional information about the population over time, such as the number of tigers at different points in time or the rate at which the population is growing or declining.
