Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), deaths from TB have fallen by an average of 1.2% per year between 2000 and 2015. In the year 2000, there were approximately 2.5 million deaths from TB. Part 1. Use the given data to create an exponential decay function to model the number of deaths from TB in terms of years, tt, where t=0 represents the year 2000. Part 2. Use this function to determine the year in which the number of deaths from TB was 2.1 million.
