Answer 1

Answer:

"The decay factor of voters."

Step-by-step explanation:

The function given has a form of:

$y=A(1-r)^t$

Where

A is the initial value

1-r is the decay factor

r is the rate of decay

t not given

Note: it would be 1+r if it was an increase problem and r would be the growth rate

Thus, matching the equations, we see that:

A = 5700

1-r = 0.94

r = 1 - 0.94 = 0.06 (6%)

The 0.94 factor is the "decay factor" of the number f voters. So, the first answer choice is right ---  "The decay factor of voters."
