ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

830 is the starting bear population

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

but you want to compare the populations after 15 years, right ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so u better find the bear population after 15 years

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

simply plugin x=15 in the function and feed it to calculator

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(f(x) = 830(0.8)^x\) \(f(15) = ?\)

(If you have to write that down though, make sure you include the decimal, or don't count a fraction of a bear)
