The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
Explanation:
An exponential function is of the form
, where a is the initial population, b is 1 plus the amount of yearly change, and x is the number of years.
For our problem, a, the initial population, is 1500.
The yearly change is 6.3%; 6.3% = 6.3/100 = 0.063. Since it is decreasing, this is negative; 1+(-0.063) = 0.937.
We use t as the number of years.
This gives us
First multiply
.45*647= 291.15
291.15 is the number of people that attended
subtract 291.15 from 647 and you get 355.85 wait.. but that's not possible so just round it so the answer to your question is 355 people did not attened
From the first equation,
x+5 = 3(y+5)
x = 3y + 15 - 5
Now substitue x in the second equation with (3y +15 - 5).
x-5 = 7(y-5)
(3y+15-5) - 5 = 7(y-5)
3y +5 = 7y - 35
-4y = - 40
y = 10
Since y is 10, and x is (3y +15 - 5),
x = 30 + 15 - 5 = 40
I think the answer is 1,096 days
0.04 because if you divide it you get 0.04
