[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The exponential function that represents Pine Bluff's population based on the number of years after 2000, x, after a period of population decline is:

P(x) = 55068 * 2^-x

Here, P(x) represents the population after x years, and the function is based on an initial population of 55068 in the year 2000. The term 2^-x represents the population decline, with each subsequent year resulting in a halving of the population.
