By 15% percent does the population of weeds decrease each day given that the function representing the number of weeds is W(d)=1650(0.85)^d. This can be obtained by using the function representing the exponential decay.
Find percent by which the population of weeds decrease each day:
Number of weeds is represented by the function,
W(d)=1650(0.85)^d
⇒ W(d)=1650(1 - 0.15)^d
Here, d = number of days since application
Function representing the exponential decay is,
⇒ A(r) = A(1 - r)^t
where,
A = Initial value
r = Percentage decay
t = duration
By comparing the given function and function representing the exponential decay,
r = 0.15 ≈ 15/100
Or r = 15%
Therefore, population of weeds will decrease 15% each day.
Hence by 15% percent does the population of weeds decrease each day given that the function representing the number of weeds is W(d)=1650(0.85)^d.
