This is a perfect example of exponential decay. In this case the growth factor should be represented by a fraction, and it is! This forest, starting out with apparently ( 800? ) pine trees, has a disease spreading, which kills 1 / 4th of each of the pine trees yearly. Therefore, the pine trees remaining should be 3 / 4.
Respectively 3 / 4 should be the growth factor, starting with 800 pine trees - the start value. This can be represented as such,
- where a = start value, b = growth factor, t = time ( <em>variable quantity</em> )
____
Thus, the function 
can model this problem. The forest after t years should have P( t ) number of pine trees remaining.
The two numbers are -4 and -6.
- two negatives make a positive. in this case -4×-4 equals 16 and -6×-6 equals 36. these are the squares
- 16+36 equals 52

Answer: 33 and 28
Step-by-step explanation:
so, all we know is ? + ? = 61
if the larger number is 5 more than the smaller number, we can assume that..
33 + 28 = 61
100% = 70
1% = .7 (divide by 100)
12% = 8.4 (Multiply 1% by 12)
70 - 8.4 = 61.6 (New Price)
Hope this helped! Got any questions just ask!
They're called powers of ten. they're easy to represent as exponents.
