The population of a town after t years is represented by the function f(t)=7,28(0.983)t what does the value 0.983 represent in this situation

Exponential function: A function is in the form of ;  where a is the initial value and b is a factor which decides the exponential function increases or decreases.

If

Given the function:

Since, this function f(t) represents the population of a town after t years.

Also, it is an exponential function.

here, b = 0.983 < 1

So, the function f(t) would be decreases by a factor of 0.983.

Therefore, the value 0.983 represents, the population of the town is 0.983 times the population of the town in the previous year.

(1, –1), (16, –4), (36, –6)

step-by-step explanation:

given that the function is

this can also be written as

we have to graph this function and check which list of points lie on the graph

see attachment for graph:

we find that the points lying are (1,-1) (16,-4) and (36,-6)

since square root is there we find that x can only be posiitve but y can be since square root both positive and negative.
