B)All butterfly populations were larger than usual in 2010.
C)The Eastern-Tailed Blue butterfly is more common than the others.
D)The Meadow Fritillary is equally common as the Variegated Fritillary
Answer:
<u>C</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking through the above count data by Louden County Wildlife Conservancy from 2009 to 2011 we notice the Eastern- Trailed Blue butterfly has a higher count, which implies that the Eastern-Tailed Blue butterfly is more common than the other butterflies.
Therefore, we could infer from the samples, that the Eastern-Tailed Blue butterfly is more common than others from the records of the past 3 three years.
Let's put it this way: If you plot a few non-x-intercept points and then draw a curvy line through them,you will not know if you got the x-intercepts even close to being correct. <span>The only way you can be sure of your x-intercepts is to set the quadratic equal to zero and solve. So its a matter of guessing from the pictures. Basicaly said, the calculator won't give you the exact result.</span>
