Question

HELP 50 POINTS!!

Please explain if possible
f(x) = 5719(0.28)^x
Determine how many cats there will be after 5 years

Answer 1

`\Large\boxed{\sf 10 \ cats}`

Explanation:

`f(x) = 5719(0.28)^x`

`\sf Where \ x=5`

`f(5) = 5719(0.28)^5=10`

Answer 2

There will be 10 cats in 5 years

Explanation:

Since x means the number of years, x = 5

According to PEMDAS, we take care of the exponents first

So the exponent is x, so the exponent is actually 5

So we apply that to 0.28

0.28^5 = 0.002

0.002 x 5719 = 9.84

But... that would be impossible and just plain creepy if there were 9.84 cats lol

So I rounded it to 10 cats
