Question

PLEASE MATH HELP ALGEBRA 1

There are 1500 bees in a colony. Each month, the number of bees decreases by 12%. There are 800 flowering plants in a garden. Each month, 25 flowering plants are removed.

Part A: Write functions to represent the number of bees and the number of flowering plants throughout the months. (4 points)

Part B: How many bees are in the colony after 6 months? How many flowering plants are in the garden after the same number of months? (2 points)

Part C: After approximately how many months is the number of bees and the number of flowering plants the same? Justify your answer mathematically. (4 points)

Answer 1

f(x) shows number of bees and g(x) shows number of flowers
f(x)=1500*(0.88)^n
g(x)=800-25n
n shows month
B)n=6
1500*(0.88)^6=696
800-25*6=800-150=650
c)it's hard to say because you should find n in this equation
1500*(0.88)^n=800-25n
but it seem n is between 6 and 7
