A certain quantity decays exponentially over time. The initial quantity at t = 0 is 1,000. The quantity decays at a rate of 2%. What is the quantity at t = 4?
A. 0.00016
B. 1.6000
C. 903.9208
D. 922.3682

D: 922.3682

Step-by-step explanation:

First you take 1000 and subtract 20 from it.( 2% of 1000 = 1000x0.02x2=20).

You could do this on a calculator by entering 1000 and then subtracting 2% by clicking minus then, 2 then percent, then equals. you get 980. do the same to 980. (click minus, then 2, then percent, then equals). you get 960.4. do the same to 960.4. you get 941.192. do the same one more time since it says t=4  and you get 922.36816 which rounded to the nearest ten-thousandths is 922.3682.

hope this helped!

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
