In the summer a large pool evaporates water at 15% per day. Given 25,700 gallons of water, which function models the pool’s loss?
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = 25700(0.15)^x
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = 25700(0.85)^x
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) =25700(1.85)^x
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) =25700(1.15)^x
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "The 1st one, f(x) = 25700(0.15)^x models the pool's loss for the 1st day only.
\n" ); document.write( "None of the others model its loss.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "The 2nd one, f(x) = 25700(0.85)^x models the amount remaining in the pool - not the loss. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
