Answer:

  9a. 0.8

  9b. f(t) = 400(0.8^t)

  10.  B, C, E

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth factor (or factor of decrease) for a time period will be found by taking the ratio of the value at the end of the time period to the beginning value.

9a.

The population is 320 after 1 year. It started at 400 at the beginning of the year, so the factor of decrease is 320/400 = 0.80.

b.

The exponential function can be written as ...

  f(t) = a·b^t . . . . . where 'a' is the initial population, and 'b' is the factor of decrease

The initial population is shown on the graph as 400; the factor of decrease is what we just computed.

  f(t) = 400(0.80^t)

__

10.

An exponential function is one that has the independent variable as an exponent. That form is seen in selections B, C, E.
