Question

From 2005 to 2015 a population of p lions is modeled by the equation p=1,500(0.98)^t where t is the number of years since 2005.about how many lions were there in 2005

Answer 1

Answer:

p=2,600(1.98)^is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The final answer is - 1500 lions were there in 2005.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A population of p lions from 2005 to 2015 is modeled by the equation,

$p = 1500 (0.98)^t$

where t is the number of years since 2005.

The number of lions in 2005 can be calculated from the given equation p where,

t = number of years since 2005

t = 2005 - 2005

t = 0

As we know, any number to the power 0 is equal to 1.

So, $0.98^0 = 1$

Number of lions in 2005 = p

                                         = $1500 (0.98)^t$

                                         = $1500 (0.98)^0$

                                         = 1500  [∵ $0.98^0 = 1$ ]

Therefore, 1500 lions were there in 2005 according to the given equation.
