Question

A certain forest covers an area of 3200 km^2. Suppose that each year this area decreases by 3.5% what will the area be after 7 years?

Answer 1

The forest area after 7 years will be 2493.

What will the area be after 7 years?

The forest area experiences a compound decline. This means that each year the forest area decreases exponentially.

The formula that can be used to determine the area of the forest area after 7 years is:

FV = P (1 - r)^n

• FV = Future area
• P = Present area
• R = rate of decline
• N = number of years

3200 ( 1 - 0.035)^7

3200 x 0.09650^7 = 2493
