Tough call.
You may have to use Newton's Method or something like that.
Graph y=2^x and then graph n/x on the same set of axes. You may have to assign some arbitrary value to n to make this work. From the graph you can read off the approximate coordinates of the point of intersection.
Turn the information into coordinate points.
Point = (time, population)
Point 1 = (1985, 45000)
Point 2 = (2004 , 26000)
Find the slope between these points using the formula
( Slope)—> m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
26000-45000/2004-1985=-19000/19= -1000
Average rate of change is decrease of 1000 sea lion per year
I hope that helped
For this problem, you're finding volume. The expression for volume is l•w•h (length times width times height).
