After studying the growing population of a certain species of fish, Dr. Goldthwait has determined that the population will grow in such a way that the population each year will be 27 less than the square of the previous year's population. If he introduces
this species of fish to a new environment by placing a population of 15 fish, and the population grows according to his results
which of the following recursive formulas can be used to determine the number of fish that will be in the environment in the
future? Assume that the space for the population to grow is unlimited.
OA
NEXT = Now2 - 27 starting at 15
OB. NEXT = (NOW + 27) starting at 15
OC. NEXT = now? + 27 starting at 15
OD. NEXT =
(NOW - 27) starting at 15

OB. NEXT

Step-by-step explanation:

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.  

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
