Question

A certain forest covers an area of 2700. Suppose that each year this area decreases 6%. What will the area be in 9 years.

Answer 1

1547.085966 (rounded to the nearest whole number) - 1547

Explanation:

Use the exponential decay formula

y = a (1 - b)^x

y =2700(1 - 0.06)^9

y = 1547.085966 ~ 1547
