Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Initial date = 1995
  • Initial population = 33500
  • Decrease rate = 2.5% per 10 years

a. It is a decay function as number of population is decreasing over time

b. f(n) = 33500*((100 - 2.5)/100)^n = 33500*(0.975)^n

c. In year 2025, n = (2025 - 1995)/10 = 3

f(3) = 33500*(0.975)^3 = 31100 rounded up
