The population of Austinburg on January 1, 2000 was 1.4 million. the population has decreased at a rate of 12% each year since. which equation models the population (in millions), p, of Austinburg t years after january 1, 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation to show decay in population :

  (i) , where P= population after t years, = initial population, r =rate of decay.

Given: The population of Austinburg on January 1, 2000 :

r= 12%= 0.12

Put theses values in (i), we get

, which gives the  population (in millions), p, of Austinburg t years after January 1, 2000.
