Answer:
1. f(0) = 501170
2. decreasing
3. 2% decrease
4. 302438
Step-by-step explanation:
In 1995 x=0
f(x) = 501170(0.98)^0
f(0) = 501170
The population is decreasing since we are multiplying by .98 ^x
.98 is less than 1 so it is getting smaller each time.
1 -.98 = .02
It is decreasing by 2 % each year
2020-1995 =25 years
f(25) = 501170(0.98)^25
=302438.41862
Rounding to the nearest whole number
302438
167.78 / 189.35 = .88608 * 100 = 88.6083971481 round it you get 89
Absolutely not. The least mixed numbers are 1 and 1/2, and 1 1/2 + 1 1/2 is 3, so no, it is not possible. Hope I helped!
