A population of 2000 deer decreases by 3.5% per year.  At the end of 10 years, there will be approximately 1,401 deer in the population.  Write a function that can be used to determine the number of deer, y, in this population at the end of t years?

• y = 2000(0.965)^t
• y = 2000(0.035)^t
• y = 2000(0.65)^t
• y = 2000(0.965)t

A citywide youth tennis tournament has 64 players at the start. After each round, half the players are eliminated. The number of players remaining at the end of each round is given by the function  f(x) = 64(.5)^x  where x is the number of rounds played.  After how many rounds will there be only two players left?

• 5
• 4
• 3
• 6

Cedric is working on a project in biology involving exponential decay. He knows he started with 500 mg of a substance and the rate of decay is 15%. Write an equation that appropriately models this situation.

• y = 500(0.85)^x
• y = 500(0.15)^x
• y=500(1.15)^x
• y = 500(85)^x
