Take-Home Quiz: Mathemafish Population
Over the past year these rare Mathemafish are being threaten by the Fluted Dropout Shark. As months pass the population is starting to decrease more and more. We are finding that out through the catch-tag-release method (method that allows us to track the fish) that the past twelve months the population which started at 480 has dropped to 46.
Three specific intervals were chosen because these intervals showed the most of how population changes throughout time. The intervals of (1, 472) and (5,152) was the change between month one and five. Between these months the population started to decrease at a decreasing rate. Intervals (6,103) and (9, 32) displays the change starts to get slower between month

    Iris wants to graph the invasive snail population to show the city council. Justify what the appropriate domain and range would be for the function f(x), what the y-intercept would be, and if the function is increasing or decreasing. F(x) = 150(1 + .5)x Let’s plug in some values for x! Earlier Iris mentioned that she observed the snail’s growth for 15 years. So we can graph the population of the snails for all 15 of those years using the exponential function we made earlier. Starting at year 0, and ending at year 15. F(0) = 150(1 + .5)0 F(0) = 150(1.5)0 F(0) = 150(1) F(0) = 150 This means that at year 0, or the beginning, the snail population was 150. Now all we have to do is the same thing for year 1 to year 15. These should be our results: F(0) = 150 F(1) = 225 F(2) = 337 F(3) = 506 F(4) = 759 F(5) = 1139 F(6) = 1708 F(7) = 2562 F(8) = 3844 F(9) = 5766 F(10) = 8649 F(11) = 12974 F(12) = 19461 F(13) = 29192 F(14) = 43789 F(15) = 65684 What those mean is after 15 years [f(15)], the population of invasive snails is 65, 684. Now that we know what these represent and their values we can start to set their ordered pairs and plot them on a coordinate plane. These are the ordered pairs: (0, 150) (1, 225) (2, 337) (3, 506) (4, 759) (5, 1139) (6, 1708) (7, 2562) (8, 3844) (9, 5766) (10, 8649) (11, 12974) (12, 19461) (13, 29192) (14, 43789) (15, 65684) The domain for this function would be 0≤x≤15 and the range for this function is 150≤y≤65684. The y-intercept of this function is…

    In the Map 5, the data of the total population in states of the U.S is quantitative data that is discrete. The data values of population size fall within the range from 560,000 to 38,000,000. As population is unevenly distributed throughout the United States, using the natural breaks method can cluster those states whose population share the relatively same size, which can better interpret the distribution of the population within the country. The sequential color scheme of orange can be identified as commonly used color scheme for visualize population and population…
