Answer:
The modeled of total population of bear is [tex]h(x)=4.7x^2+1.6x+3.27[/tex]
A is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
A biologist studied the populations of black bear and brown bears over a 10-year period.
Modeled the population of Black Bear:
[tex]f(x)=2.3x^2-5.6x+2.3[/tex]
Modeled the population of Brown Bear:
[tex]g(x)=2.4x^2+7.2x+0.97[/tex]
We need to find the population modeled of the total number of brown and black bear.
Total population of bear modeled by h(x)
[tex]h(x)=f(x)+g(x)[/tex]
[tex]h(x)=2.3x^2-5.6x+2.3+2.4x^2+7.2x+0.97[/tex]
Combine the like term
[tex]h(x)=4.7x^2+1.6x+3.27[/tex]
Hence, The modeled of total population of bear is [tex]h(x)=4.7x^2+1.6x+3.27[/tex]
