I need more info to answer this question.
The answer is a decreasing exponential function because the percentage of change is constant. You can obtain this answer by looking at the amount of decrease each time and dividing it by the higher value. If you do this for each step, you'll see that there is a 12% decrease for each year.
Completing the square
alrighty
minus 31 both sides
x²+12x=-31
take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
12 is the linear coefient
12/2=6, (6)²=36
add that to both sides
x²+12x+36=36-31
factor perfect square trinomial
(x+6)²=5
square root both sides, remember to take positive and negative root
x+6=+/-√5
so what you want to write is
x+6=√5 and
x+6=-√5
the solutions
minus 6 both sides
x=-6+√5 and -6-√5
