Part 1) The exponential function is equal to
Part 2) The population in 2010 was
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1) Write an exponential decay function that models this situation
we know that
In this problem we have a exponential function of the form
where
y ----> the fish population of Lake Collins since 2004
x ----> the time in years
a is the initial value
b is the base
we have
substitute
----> exponential function that represent this scenario
Part 2) Find the population in 2010
we have
so
For
substitute
