i know that my current answer is incorrect, please explain and have good hand writing
Over a period of 5 years, a population of moose in a wildlife refuge is monitored. The population is modeled by a function P = f(t). The function f(t) had a positive first derivative and a negative second derivative throughout the 5 year period. Which of the following statements is correct? The population was initially declining, but began increasing by the end of the 5 year period. The population rose during the 5 year period, but it rose less in the last year than it did in the first year. The population rose during the 5 year period and it rose more in the last year than it did in the first year. The population fell during the 5 year period, but it fell less in the final year than in the first year. The population fell during the 5 year period and it fell more during the last year than it did during the first year.Explanation / Answer
For the given function f(t), since the first derivative is greater than zero which means to say that the function value keeps on increasing. So it means that the population of the moose keeps on increasing. While in the case of the second derivative it is negative which means to say that the value keeps on increasing which means to say that the value is far more higher in the last year when comapred to the first year
So the answer would be "The population rose during the first 5 year period and it rose more in the last year than it did in the first year"
