Answer:
-Exponential Decay
-Decay factor is (1-0.05)
Step-by-step explanation:
-Given that the number decreases by a defined rate each year from the initial size by 5%,
-This is an exponential decay function of the form:

Where:
is the quantity/size after time t
is the initial size
is the rate of decay
-Our function can the be written as

Hence, the decay rate/factor is 0.05
#Alternatively
The exponential decay can be of the form:

Where:
y is the size at time x, a is the initial size, x is time and b is the decay factor.
b is of the form 

Hence, the decay factor is (1-0.05)
The answers are that the number can equal -4 or 1.
You can find this by setting the number equal to x.
x^2 (The square of a number) + 3x (three times a number) = 4
x^2 + 3x = 4 ---> subtract 4 from each side
x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0
Then you can factor this to find the answers
(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0
Set both equal to 0 and solve.
Answer:
4x² + 12 = 7x
4x² + 12 - 7x = 0
use the quadratic formula and get your answer!
