The amount of fertilizer in a landscaping company's warehouse decreases at a rate of 2% per week. The amount of fertilizer in the warehouse was originally, 64,000 cubic yards. Which function models the amount of fertilizer in cubic yards left after w weeks?

Answer 1

The function that models the amount of fertilizer in the warehouse after w weeks can be represented by:

\( f(w) = 64000(1-0.02)^w = 64000(0.98)^w \)

This function takes the original amount of fertilizer, 64,000 cubic yards, and decreases it by 2% each week.
