The annual consumption of beef per person was about 64.3 lb in 2000 and about 61.3 lb in 2007. Assume B(t), the annual beef consumption t years after 2000, is decreasing according to the exponential decay model. a) Find the value of k, and write the equation. b) Estimate the consumption of beef in 2014. c) In what year (theoretically) will the consumption of beef be 10 Ib? a) Select the correct answer below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) 61.3 O A. B(t) = 61.3 e B(t) = OB. 64.3 O C. B(t) = 643e B(t) = OD. 61.3 e
