The florida manatee population is 3,000 and is decreasing by 11% each year. Write a function for this situation.

Respuesta :

The required function of the situation is f(x) = 2670x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Population is = 3000

Evert year it is decreased by 11%.

To find the function of the given situation.

Formula

If the original population is a and is decreased by b% the population after 1 year will be a×[tex]\frac{100-b}{100}[/tex]

After x year the population will be = a×[tex]\frac{100-b}{100}[/tex]×x = [tex]ax\frac{100-b}{100}[/tex]

Now,

Let after x years the population will be,

f(x) = 3000x×[tex]\frac{100-11}{100}[/tex]

= 2670x

Hence,

The required function of the situation is f(x) = 2670x.
