Answer:

634

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of the birds in 2001 = 230000

From 2001 to 2021 = 20 years

Given:

y = 200000[tex](0.75)^{x}[/tex]

where x is the number of years since 2001.

The population of the birds after 20 can be determined by;

y = 200000[tex](0.75)^{20}[/tex]

  = 200000(3.171211939 x [tex]10^{-3}[/tex])

  = 634.2424

y = 634

Thus, there would be 634 endangered birds in 2021.
