Question

A population has size 6000 at time $t = 0$, with $t$ in years. (a) If the population decreases by 250 people per year, find a formula for the population, $P$, at time $t$. $P(t) = $ (b) If the population decreases by 11% per year, find a formula for the population, $P$, at time $t$. $P(t) = $

          A population has size 6000 at time $t = 0$, with $t$ in years.
(a) If the population decreases by 250 people per year, find a formula
for the population, $P$, at time $t$.
$P(t) = $
(b) If the population decreases by 11% per year, find a formula for the
population, $P$, at time $t$.
$P(t) = $
