Question

The population of a town is decreasing exponentially according to the formula
P = 7,285(0.97)t, where t is measured in years from the present date. Find the population in 2 years, 9 months. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Answer 1

Answer: 6669

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope I did this right... anyways,

t, is represented by years, which is given to us by 2 years and 9 months. Assuming you would put 2.9 for t.

Additionally, as you can't have a decimal for a person, and they've asked for it to be rounded to the nearest whole number, there would be 6669 people in 2 years and 9 months.

The formula used is:

$7285(0.97)^2^.^9$
