Question

One eyed, one horned, flying purple people eaters are an endangered species. Their population is decreasing at an annual rate of 34% due to the lack of marshmallows (that they love to place on their horn). There are currently 646 left. Write an exponential function representing the population in 10 years.

Answer 1

p(t) = 646*0.66^t . . . . . exponential function for population

p(10) = 646*0.66^10 ≈ 10 . . . population in 10 years
