<span>For exponential decrease use the formula P(1 - r)^t
p: initial amount
r: rate of change or percent of decrease (be sure to put in decimal form or you wont get the right answer)
t: amount of time (in years)
1,000,000 (1-0.042)^15 =
$525,391.01
(also make sure to use pemdas or order of operations when solving) hope this helps :)</span>
600,000 because the number after the five is five so if the number is 5 or higher you round it up
Answer
Exponential function is in the form of :
.....[1]
where a is the initial amount and r is the growth rate and (1+r) is the growth factor.
Given the function: 
On comparing with equation [1] we have;
Initial amount(a) = 12
1+r = 1.05
Subtract 1 from both sides we get;
or 5%
Growth (r) = 0.05 or 5%
Now, evaluate the function for t = 5 we have;
Substitute the value of t=5 in the given function we have;


Therefore, the value of function when t=5 to the nearest tenth is 15.3
