The population of a species in the wild in Asia has been decreasing exponentially since 1980. This function represents the wild
population of the species t years after 1980: W(t)=20000(0.95)t.
The Wildlife Refuge Foundation noticed this trend before 1980
and decided to try to help reduce the population decline by
breeding the species in captivity. The graph shows the number
of these animals that have been born in captivity since 1980.
(Note: The function W(t) and the graph are not the same function!)
[15 points] Use the graph to create a function to represent the number of the species that have been born in captivity, C(t).

We have been given graph of a downward opening parabola with vertex at point . We are asked to write equation of the parabola in standard form.
We know that equation of parabola in standard form is .
We will write our equation in vertex form and then convert it into standard form.
Vertex for of parabola is , where point (h,k) represents vertex of parabola and a represents leading coefficient.
Since our parabola is downward opening so leading coefficient will be negative.
Upon substituting coordinates of vertex and point (0,0) in vertex form, we will get:
Divide both sides by
So our equation in vertex form would be .
Let us convert it in standard from.
Therefore, the equation of function is standard form would be .
