question 5

Multiple Choice

Provide an appropriate response.
-The population of a town with an initial population of 64,546 is decreasing at a rate of 3.7% per year. Create an exponential function of the form Q
$\mathrm { Q } = \mathrm { Q } _ { 0 } \times ( 1 + \mathrm { r } ) ^ { \mathrm { t } }$

• A) \(\mathrm { Q } = 64,546 \times ( 1.037 ) ^ { \mathrm { t } }\)
• B) \(Q = 64,546 \times ( 0.963 ) ^ { t }\)
• C) \(Q = 64,546 \times ( - 2.7 ) ^ { t }\)
• D) \(\mathrm { Q } = 64,546 \times ( 1.074 ) ^ { \mathrm { t } }\)
