The exponential function that shows San Francisco area after x years is y = 49(0.98)ˣ

What is an exponential function?

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

Where a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplication factor.

Let y represent the land area of San Francisco after x years. Hence:

The city is only about 49 square miles in area, a = 49. It is losing 2% yearly, hence b = 100% - 2% = 0.98

The equation becomes y = 49(0.98)ˣ
