Your answer is partially correct. Mute swans were imported from Europe in the nineteenth century to grace ponds. Now there is concern that their population is
growing too rapidly, edging out native species. During the 2000s, many states created mute swan controls. The goal was to reduce
the mute swan count from 14,313 in 2002 to 3000 swans by 2013.
a. Using a linear model, what would be the average rate of change per year needed to bring the swan population to that level?
Round your answer to one decimal place.
- 1028.5
mute swans per year
b. Using an exponential model, what would be the decay factor needed?
Round your answer to three decimal places.
i
!
swans per year

it is true

step-by-step explanation:

all the combinations add up i used   calculator

these sign is used to tell weather the number is greater or less than the number   <   or >     but this sign means its equal =

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
