Given the following function:
[tex]f(x)=10000(0.898)^x[/tex]Where x is the time in years, models a declining lemming population.
We will find the number of lemmings after 5 years
So, we will substitute x = 5
[tex]f(5)=10,000(0.898)^5=10,000*0.583958=5839.58095[/tex]Rounding to the nearest whole number
so, the number of lemmings after 5 years = 5840
