The table shows the estimated number of bees, y, in a hive x days after a pesticide is released near the hive.

A 2-column table with 6 rows. The first column is labeled number of days with entries 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. The second column is labeled estimated number of bees with entries 10,000; 7,500; 5,600; 4,200; 3,200; 2,400.
Which function best models the data?

y = 9,958(0.972)x
y = 0.972(9,958)x
y = 9,219x– 150
y = –150x + 9,219

Step-by-step explanation:

The given table is

Days     Bees

  0        10,000

 10        7,500

 20       5,600

 30       4,200

 40       3,200

 50       2,400

Where represents days and represents bees.

The exponential function that models this problem must be like

, which represenst an exponential decary, because in this case, the number of bees decays.

We nned to use one points, to find the rate of decay. We know that , because it starts with 10,000 bees.

Let's use the points (10, 7500)

Solving for , we have

Using logarithms, we have

Replacing all values in the model, we have

Therefore, the right answer is the first choice, that's the best approximation to this situation.

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
