Answer:

2 bears in 2020.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a new bear population that begins with 150 bears in 2000 decreases at a rate of 20% per year.

We will use exponential decay formula to solve our given problem as:

y=a\cdot (1-r)^x, where,

y = Final quantity,

a = Initial value,

r = Decay rate in decimal form,

x = Time

20\%=\frac{20}{100}=0.20    

Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:

y=150(1-0.20)^x

y=150(0.80)^x, where x corresponds to year 2000.

To find the population in 2020, we will substitute x=20 in our equation as:

y=150(0.80)^{20}

y=150(0.011529215046)

y=1.7293822569    

y\approx 2

Therefore, 2 bears are there predicted to be in 2020.

Since population is decreasing so population is best described as exponential decay.
