A fish population starts at 8,000 and decreases by 6% per year. Write an exponential decay function, then find the population of fish in 10 years. (Round to the nearest whole number.)
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
Someone from Bartleby completed this question and got 4,312 fish but I found it online and the answer said it was 4,308 fish. Can you please do it to confirm which answer is correct? The equation is below. Thank you.
