Determine what type of model best fits the given situation a population of wolves is presently at 500 and is decreasing by 10% each year.

a. quadratic
b. exponential
c. linear
d. none of these

B. Exponential

Step-by-step explanation:

The annual wolf population in each year is

w  =  500  500(0.9) 500(0.9)²  500(0.9)³   …

n =      1           2             3                4            …

The model is w = 500(0.9)ⁿ⁻¹.

This is an exponential model, because the independent variable is in an exponent.

the answer to your question a or b but i am pretty sure it is b. i hope this : )

step-by-step explanation:

write out the polynomial, with leading coefficient 1:

y = 1 (x+2)^1 (x-7)^1 (x-5)^2

next time, share the answer choices.   .
