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)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
When we compare positive fractions with the same numerator, the largest rational number will be the fraction with the lowest denominator
In this problem we have
and
Both numerator are equal
Compare the denominators
therefore
is the largest rational number
