Mathematics: Currently (2019), there are 153 bald eagles in forest national park. bald eagles are an endangered species, and the population of bald eagles is decreasing by 8% every year. write the equation that represents the population since 2019.

P=153(0.92)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem you need to use the formula for Exponential decay:

P=P_0(1-r)^t

Where " P_0 " is the initial population, "r" is the decay rate and "t" is the time in years.

With the information given, you can conclude that:

t=0 represents the initial year (2019)

P_0=153

$r=\frac{8}{100}\\\\r=0.08$

Finally, substituting these values into P=P_0(1-r)^t , you get that the equation that represents the population since 2019 is:

P=153(1-0.08)^t

P=153(0.92)^t
