By the year 2025, the town of Ellison is frustrated and wants to get rid of their cats, so they send them over to Clarkville. The Clarkville
residents love cats and can use the cats to catch all the mice. The
mouse-catch-rate for each cat is 72%

The function f(x) = 5719(0.28)^x represents this change in the cat
population.
a) Explain what the 0.28 means in this problem, based on the
information is given.
(hint: think about if this function is increasing or decreasing)

question: how many people can she serve?

answer: she can serve 16.66666667 people. so she can only give 16 people a complete serving.

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
