CHINSTRAP PENGUINS The population of chinstrap penguins on an island in the Antarctic was comprised of about 60,000breeding pairs in 1980. The population of chinstrap penguins has been declining by about 3.6 percent per year since 1980. 1)INITIAL VALUE 2 GROWTH OR DECAY RATE Determine the initial Determine whether the situation represents exponential growth or decay. value, a.
