A farmer estimates that he has 9,000 bees producing honey on his farm. The farmer becomes concerned when he realizes the population of bees seems to be decreasing steadily at a rate of 5% per year. If the number of bees in the population after x years is represented by f(x), which statements about the situation are true? Check all that apply.

The function f(x) = 9,000(1.05)x represents the situation.

The function f(x) = 9,000(0.95)x represents the situation.

After 2 years, the farmer can estimate that there will be about 8,120 bees remaining.
