City planners anticipate an 8 point 2 percent population growth per year, including new residents and births. The population, in millions of people, based on this increase can be modeled by the function p times x is equal to 2 point 5 times 1 point 0 8 2 to the x th power , where x is the number of years of tracked growth. The planners also estimate a 3 percent population loss over the same time period that can be modeled by the function cap l times p is equal to p times 0 point 9 7 to the x th power Which function represents cap l times open paren p times x close paren ?
Answer
A
cap l times open paren p times x close paren is equal to 2 point 5 times 2 point 0 5 2 to the x th power
B
cap l times open paren p times x close paren is equal to 2 point 4 2 5 times 0 point 1 1 2 to the x th power
C
cap l times open paren p times x close paren is equal to 2 point 4 2 5 times 1 point 0 8 2 to the x th power
D
cap l times open paren p times x close paren is equal to 2 point 5 times 1 point 0 4 9 5 4 to the x th power
