Question

Use the approximate half-life formula for the case described below. Discuss whether the formula is valid for the case described.Urban encroachment is causing the area of a forest to decline at the rate of 5% per year. What is the half-life of the forest? What fraction of the forest will remain in 30 years?(Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Give the rate of decline as 5% per year, we'll go ahead and use the below formula to determine the half-life of the forest;
