0.8 is 20% of 4. This is because 20% of something occurs when something is divided by 5, since it is 1/5 of 100. You multiply 0.8*5, and you get 4.
Answer:
13) Is a linear function. The points form a straight line
14) Is an exponential function. The points form a curved line.
I am guessing that the correct form of equation
is:
f(x)
= 16,800(0.9)^x
where
x is the exponent of (0.9)
Since
we are looking for the original population and x stand sfor the number of years,
therefore x=0
substituting:
f(x) = 16,800(0.9)^0
Since (0.9)^0 would just be equal to 1. Therefore
the original population is
16,800.
Answer: B. 16,800
ANSWER
The correct answer is option B
EXPLANATION
The equations are
and
When we multiply the second equation by 
, we obtain;
When we combine this new equation with equation (1).
We can see that 
has been eliminated from the equation.
We can then, solve for 
and then substitute the result in to any of the equations to find .
Hence the correct answer is option B
