For the answer to the question above, <span>Well, first let us put up a functional equation. </span> <span>Since this is an exponential function, it'll be: f(t)=54,000*1.03^t </span> <span>But we want to know how many wolves there were 10 years ago. </span> <span>For that, we simply "turn time around", as in: f(t)=54,00*1.03^-t </span> <span>This displays a decreasing number of wolves, as you turn back time. </span>
<span>Now we simply calculate 54,000*1.03^-10 </span> <span>which is approximately 40,200?</span>
you know it is when you can't solve it any further. If the numbers cannot be divided by a common number. there is no possible way to make it any more compacted.
