Question

1. this graph shows the population of squirrels in a study, modeled as a function of time. the study begins on day 0 and ends on day 50. squirrel population over time determine whether each statement is true according to the graph. select true or false for each statement. the squirrel population was decreasing between day 20 and day 50. the squirrel population was at its greatest around day 50. the least number of squirrels during the study was 40. true false

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the "The squirrel population was decreasing between day 20 and day 50" statement

Looking at the graph, from day 20 to day 50, the population line is going down. So this statement is True.

Step2: Analyze the "The squirrel population was at its greatest around day 50" statement

The highest point on the graph (the greatest population) is at day 0, not around day 50. So this statement is False.

Step3: Analyze the "The least number of squirrels during the study was 40" statement

The lowest point on the graph (the least population) is at day 20, and the value is 30, not 40. So this statement is False.

Answer:

True: The squirrel population was decreasing between day 20 and day 50.
False: The squirrel population was at its greatest around day 50; The least number of squirrels during the study was 40.
