The population decays by a factor of (1/2 )^1/4 every hour.
<h3>
Exponential Function</h3>
An exponential function is in the form:
y = abˣ
Where a is the initial value of y, b is the multiplier, y and x are variables.
Let y represent the bacteria population after x hours.
A bacteria population decreases by a factor of 1/2 every 4 hours.

The population decays by a factor of (1/2 )^1/4 every hour.

Hello! Ahh okay let’s see... I’ve studied this before.
So an example of an open system can be something like living organism such as a human being. We actively interact with our environment, which results in changes to both the environment and us. For example... we eat to acquire energy.
I hope this helps, I tried to give a pretty detailed example. Have a great night!

Answer: Their population will rapidly decrease in till eventually they are no longer.
Explanation: Due to having less and less area to nest, the costal bird species population will slowly start to decline.
