PLEASE HELP. The population of Metropolis was approximately 2,600,000 people in 2000. The population began decreasing at a rate of 1.1% every year after 2000.

Which function models the population of Metropolis x years after 2000?

f(x)=0.989(2,600,000)x

f(x)=2,600,000(1.011)x

​f(x)=2,600,000(0.989)x​

f(x)=1.011(2,600,000)x

the answer is c heres some proof lol

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
