Equations of Exponential Functions The population, P, of six towns with time t in years are given by the following exponential equations:

(i) P = 1000(1.08)t (ii) P = 600(1.12)t
(iii) p = 2500(0.9)t (iv) P = 1200(1.185)t
(v) P = 800(0.78)t (vi) 2000(0.99)t

Which town decreasing the fastest?

a. ii c. iii
b. v d. vi

Please select the best answer from the choices provided

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
