Question

a local zoologist presents a graph of a primate population and describes the characteristics as follows: the population of primates is expected to decline in the long - run. the graph of the population has only one turning point. the maximum population during the study is about 1,200 primates. which graph best represents the population described?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze key - points

The population has a maximum of about 1200 and one turning - point, then declines.

Step2: Check graphs

In the first graph, the curve reaches a maximum around 1200 on the y - axis (population), has one turning - point, and then declines. The second graph starts too low and doesn't reach 1200. The third graph doesn't decline after reaching a peak.

Answer:

The first graph.
