Exponential Growth
6) When Professor Holz’ cats were allowed outside, the population of birds and small fuzzy
animals (chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits) slowly decreased (both of his kitties are pretty
good hunters!) The total population of the other animals decreased by 1% per week. If
the neighborhood originally had 500 animals, how many were left after two years (104
weeks)?

Initial population, multiplied by the weekly decay factor 104 times. The weekly decrease is 1%, so the weekly decay factor is 99%, or 0.99.
500(0.99)^104
