Answer:
f(x) = 26000000(.85)^x + 2,000,000
f(1) = 26,000,000
f(2) = 24100000
f(3) = 22485000
f(4) = 21112250
Geometric, it is going down by a %, not a fixed number
Year 5, less pollution
f(8) = 9,084,753.65
Step-by-step explanation:
f(2) = 26,000,000 (.85)^2 + 2,000,000
f(2) = 24100000
f(3) = 26,000,000 (.85)^3 + 2,000,000
f(3) = 22485000
f(4) = 26,000,000(.85)^4 + 2,000,000
f(4) = 21,112,250
f(8) = 26,000,000(.85)^8 + 2,000,000
f(8) = 9,084,753.65
