A bee farm has 700 bees on September 1st. Winter is coming and the number of bees decreases 35% every 2 months from September 1st until March 1st. How many bees are on the farm on March 1st?

Step-by-step explanation:

-The bee's population follows an exponential decay of the form:

is the population at time t

 is the initial population size

is time and rate of decay respectively.

#We substitute and solve :

-Since it's a decay, we round down any fractional amount in the population.

Hence, the population after 6 months is approximately 244 bees

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
