cant screenshot I need to fill in the boxes

Question

couldnt screenshot I need to fill in the boxes I have tried to but I can't figure it out. exponential growth and decay I need to fill in the boxes

function y-int growth or decay growth or decay rate

y= ? (0,18) growth 8% annual rate

y=20(0.6)^x ? growth or decay ?% annual or continuous rate

if its filled it its a given

Answer 1

While it's hard to read what you've typed, let's see if I can help.

Let's say something is decaying by 30% each year. That means that you're left with 70% of the previous year's amount, right?

What if a town starts with 200,000 people and the population decays by 25 per year. After one year, your're left with 200,000(0.75). After 2 years we have 200,000(0.75)(0.75), aka 200,000(0.75)².

What if you have growth? Let's say a population of crows grew by 8% each year. Well, each year sees 108% of the population of the year before. If the starting population is 600, then after one year, we have 600(1.08) birds.

Simply, in y = 400(1.1)^x, 400 is the starting population and it's growing by 10% per whatever time period. After 5 minutes or days or years or whatever, there would be 400(1.1)⁵ of what we're counting.

Hope this helps!
