Answer:
- 10 mice left after 5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is given:
- f(x) = 5719(0.28)ˣ
- f(x) is the number of mice left after x years, 5719 is initial number of mice (now) and x is the number of years from now
Substitute x with 5 for 5 years and find the value of the function.
- f(5) = 5719(0.28)⁵ = 10 (rounded up to the integer number)
- Multiply 5719 by 0.28 to the 5th power to get approximate number of 10
There will be 10 mice left after 5 years
