Hey there, Lets solve this together. 

[tex]F(t)=30(0.97)^t [/tex] 

[tex] A=P(1+r)^t[/tex] 

The variable (R) will be representing the rate as a decimal.

When you solve for (R) multiply by 100 to get the percentage. A percentage is 
a rate, number, or amount in each hundred. 

"0.97" will be replaced by "(97/100)"

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the given equation 

[tex] ft - ((30)) 97/100 ) * t) = 0 [/tex] 

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  10  as the denominator :

[tex]ft = ft/1 = ft * 10 / 10[/tex] 

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator 

[tex]ft * 10 - (291t) / 10 = 10ft - 291t / 10[/tex] 

[tex]t * (10f - 291) / 10 = 0 [/tex] 

[tex] t*(10f-291) / 10 * 10 = 0 * 10[/tex] 

The equation now takes the shape :
   t  •  (10f-291)  = 0

 f = 291/10 = 29.100

 t = 0



Positive = Growth 

Negative = Decay 

[tex]1+r = .97[/tex] 

[tex]r=-0.03[/tex]
