16)- In Miller county, the voting in annual elections have gone down by a consistent percentage each year and can be modeled bythe function y = 5,700(0.94) What does the value 0.94 represent in the function?The decay factor of voters.The initial number of voters.The number of time intervals.The number of voters after t years.

Answer:"The decay factor of voters."Step-by-step explanation:The function given has a form of:[tex]y=A(1-r)^t[/tex]WhereA is the initial value1-r is the decay factor r is the rate of decayt not givenNote: it would be 1+r if it was an increase problem and r would be the growth rateThus, matching the equations, we see that:A = 57001-r = 0.94r = 1 - 0.94 = 0.06 (6%)The 0.94 factor is the "decay factor" of the number f voters. So, the first answer choice is right ---  "The decay factor of voters."
