24*10^x
your decay formula is correct. 1-r is the constant ratio to multiply by
Hey dudes, I need my answers and reasoning checked. (uwu)
"Suppose you start with 24 rabbits, Each year they grow to 10 times as many! Write an exponential function to represent the rabbit population, y, based on the number of years that passed, x. Describe what the variables represent and how you built your equation."
I wrote this;
Function : y = 1*24^10
Definition : x = the number of years that passed ,
y = rabbit population ,
t = population growth after 1 year ,
1 = initial number of rabbits.

"Let’s say this rabbit population pushes out the native chipmunk population, taking over their natural habitat. Suppose we started with 750,000 chipmunks and each year they are losing one third (1/3) of their population. Write an equation for this scenario."
Would the equation have to be formatted like: "y = a(1 - r)^x"? I don’t really understand exponential decay and my class hasn’t covered on that topic as much, any tips on that would be appreciated. (uwu)
