A population of sea turtles decreases by 25% per year. The population size is currently 1,024. Which expression calculates the population x years From now?​

Sagot :

The expression calculates the population x years from now will be given as y = 1024 (0.75)ˣ.

What is an exponent?

Consider the function:

y = a (1 ± r) ˣ

Where x is the number of times this growth/decay occurs, a = initial amount, and r = fraction by which this growth/decay occurs.

If there is a plus sign, then there is exponential growth happening by r fraction or 100r %

If there is a minus sign, then there is exponential decay happening by r fraction or 100r %

The population of sea turtles decreases by 25% per year. The population size is currently 1,024.

Let y be the population of sea turtles and x be the number of years.

Then we have

y = 1024 (1 - 0.25) ˣ

y = 1024 (0.75) ˣ
