A doctor estimates that a particular patient is losing bone density at a rate of 3% annually. The patient currently has a
bone density of 1,500 kg/
mg'. The doctor writes an exponential function to represent the situation. Which values
should the doctor use for a and b in a function written in the form f(x) = ab, where f(x) represents the bone density
after x years?
What does a= and what does b= ?
