Ginny is studying a population of frogs. she determines that the population is decreasing at an average rate of 3% per year. when she began her study, the frog population was estimated at 1,200. which function represents the frog population after x years?

Step-by-step explanation:

Ginny determines that the population is decreasing at an average rate of 3% per year.

So, this is an exponential decay case

Formula :

where a is the amount after n years

a is the initial amount

r is the rate of depreciate

n is the number of years

Now we are given that When she began her study, the frog population was estimated at 1,200.

So, a=1200

r = 3% = 0.03

n =x

Substitute the values in the formula:

Hence function represents the frog population after x years is

answer:
