Question

experts fear that without conservation efforts, an endangered species could disappear from the wild by 2022. just one hundred years ago, there were at least 100,000 of this endangered species. by 2010, the estimated world population of this endangered species was 16,500. the bar graph shows the estimated world population of this endangered species for selected years from 1970 through 2010. also shown is a polynomial function, with its graph, that models the data. use this information to complete parts a through c. click the icon to view the bar graph and the graph of the polynomial function. a. find and interpret f(40). in the year 2010, the polynomial estimates the population of this species to be 16,485. (round to the nearest integer as needed.) identify this information as a point on the graph of f. (type an ordered pair. do not use commas in the individual coordinates.)

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the ordered - pair concept

An ordered pair for a function \(y = f(x)\) is of the form \((x,y)\), where \(x\) is the input value and \(y\) is the output value.

Step2: Identify \(x\) and \(y\) values

We know that \(x = 40\) (the input to the function \(f\)) and \(y=f(40)=16485\) (the output of the function).

Answer:

\((40\ 16485)\)
