Hello, Hello, to find the growth rate, visualize the following formula
A = P(1-r)^t

The r in (1-r) is the decrease rate = 13.2% = .132. The (1 - r) is the growth factor. So 1 - .132 = .868 growth factor. With that said, it would help to know what model is being use for the population and growth / decrease.

Not sure what we need to do for this question, as it appears that you have already completed it, but looking over your answer, the graphed relationship looks correct! And it would take 3 cups of flour to make 90 cookies, as per the table.

$\bf x=rcos(\theta )\implies \cfrac{x}{cos(\theta )}=r\\\\
y=rsin(\theta )\implies \cfrac{y}{sin(\theta )}=r
\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
r=3cos(\theta )\implies \cfrac{x}{cos(\theta )}=3cos(\theta )\implies x=3cos(\theta )cos(\theta )
\\\\\\
\boxed{x=3cos^2(\theta )}
\\\\\\
r=3cos(\theta )\implies \cfrac{y}{sin(\theta )}=3cos(\theta )\implies \boxed{y=3cos(\theta )sin(\theta )}$
