Question 876159: The deer population of a game preserve is decreasing by 2% per year. The original population was 1850. Write an exponential decay function to model the situation.
Is it y=1850(0.98)^t ?
if so, please show work! Please Answer by josgarithmetic(39618) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Yes, that would be the model. You can find that model if you go step by step for each year. Try doing that!
Year Count______Population
0_______________1850
1______________1850*0.98
2______________1850*0.98*0.98

Keep going until you see what this formula rule is.
