Answer:

Select the correct answer.

Scientists studying biodiversity of amphibians in a rain forest have discovered that the number of species is decreasing by 2% per year. There are currently 74 species of amphibians in the rain forest. Which logarithmic function models the time, , in years, it will take the number of species to decrease to a value of n?

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The logarithm function that models the time, f(n) , in years is [tex]\rm f(n) = log_{0.98} (\dfrac{n}{74})[/tex], the correct option is D.

What is an Exponential Function?

An exponential function can be represented in the form f(x) = abˣ.

The number of species is decreasing by 0.02

Current number of species = 74

The time f(n) years is given by

f(n) = 74 (0.98)ⁿ

Converting exponent to logarithm form

x = aⁿ

y = logₓ a

f(n) = 74 (0.98)ⁿ

[tex]\rm f(n) = log_{0.98} (\dfrac{n}{74})[/tex]
