The bird population in a forest is about 2300 and is decreasing at a rate of 5% per year. Let t represent the number of years and P represent the population. Write an exponential decay model to represent this situation. P= (1-___)^t

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
