The number of people enrolled in Math 101 at a certain community college is given by 200 - 5y, where y is the number of years since 2004. initial value = rate of change =

Initial value = 200

Rate of change = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x be the number of people enrolled in Math 101 at a certain community college.

Then, we are given the equation:

where y is the number of years since 2004.

Initial value:

Initial value is the value when y = 0. It is the number of people enrolled in Math 101 at a certain community college in year 2004.

Putting  y = 0, we get,

Initial value = 200

Rate of change:

Comparing to general linear equation,

where m is the rate of change and c is the intercept.

m = -5

It tells us that with increase in 1 unit of y, x decreases by 5 units i.e. every year the number of people enrolled in Math decreases by 5.

Rate of change = -5

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
