Nancy is buying a car with a purchase price of $11,500. She also is paying extra for two options: air conditioning at $600
and automatic transmission at $1,200. Nancy made a down
payment of $1,200. She took a 2-year loan for the remaining
amount. Her monthly payments will be $566 per month.
a. What will be the total cost of the car by the time Nancy
pays off her loan?
b. How much of this total cost is interest? What is the
purchase price of the car?

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
