As the concert came to its end, the number of people in a stadium decreased every 10 minutes. the function p(x)=0.65(.96)x models the number of people in hundreds of thousands where x represents the number of 10-minute periods since the trend has been observed. what do the values in the function represent?

0.65 represents the initial number of people in hundreds of thousands .

Also ,

It means the rate of decay = 0.04=4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The function models the number of people in hundreds of thousands where x represents the number of 10-minute periods since the trend has been observed.

We know that the exponential decay function is given by :-

, where A is the initial amount and r is the rate of decay in time x.

As compared to the given function we get

A = 0.65

It means the initial number of people = 0.65 hundreds of thousands =

Also ,

Hence, the rate of decay = 0.04=4%
