The exponential equation for the number of Bacterian Camels in Mongolia is:
[tex]P(t) = 600(0.982)^t[/tex]
The parameters can be described as follows:
- P is the population after t years.
- A is the initial population.
- r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
What is an exponential function?
A decaying exponential function is modeled by:
[tex]P(t) = A(1 - r)^t[/tex]
In which:
- P is the population after t years.
- A is the initial population.
- r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
For this problem, the values of the parameters are given as follows:
A = 600, r = 0.018.
Then the equation is:
[tex]P(t) = A(1 - r)^t[/tex]
[tex]P(t) = 600(0.982)^t[/tex]
