Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We would apply the formula for
exponential decay which is expressed as
A = P(1 - r)^t
Where
A represents the population after t years.
t represents the number of years.
P represents the initial population.
r represents rate of growth.
From the information given,
P = 1,450,000
r = 0.99% = 0.99/100 = 0.0099
t = x years
Therefore, an exponential equation to represent this situation after x years is
A = 1450000(1 - 0.0099)^t
A = 1450000(0.9901)^t
