write the following science ideas mathematically using symbolic representation
you observe that one fox eats 100 rabbits each year. you have an idea that every increase of one in fox population will cause the rabbit population to decrease by 100
fx100= r-100
fox * x = x (rabbits - 100)
To represent the given science ideas mathematically, we can use symbolic representation. Let's define the variables:
Let F represent the fox population.
Let R represent the rabbit population.
Based on the given observations, we can express the ideas mathematically as follows:
1. Observation: One fox eats 100 rabbits each year.
Mathematical expression: F = 100R
2. Idea: Every increase of one in the fox population will cause the rabbit population to decrease by 100.
Mathematical expression: F + 1 = R - 100
Note that the second idea assumes a direct cause-effect relationship between the increase in fox population (F + 1) and the decrease in rabbit population (R - 100).
