A city with a population of 426,000 is forced to evacuate due to a natural disaster. The damage from the disaster caused many residents to move away, and the population decreased exponentially by 26% a year after the disaster. If the population continues to decrease at this rate for t years, write the expression that reveals the monthly rate of decrease for the population in the form (b)c. Round any decimals to the nearest thousandth.

Let us imagine that the number of automobile accidents in a certain region are related to the regional number of registered automobiles in tens of thousands (b1), alcoholic beverage sales in $10,000 (b2), and decrease in the price of gasoline in cents (b3). furthermore, imagine that the regression formula has been calculated as: y = a + b1x1 + b2x2 + b3x3 where y = the number of automobile accidents, a = 7.5, b1 = 3.5, b2 = 4.5, and b3 = 2.5 calculate the expected number of automobile accidents for a football weekend if the region has 25,000 registered vehicles, $75,000 worth of beer is sold, and a gas war causes a 10 cent drop in a gallon of gas.
