The question gives you the formula to use, but it's printed wrong.
The 'x' is an exponent after the (1 + r).

All you have to do is take the formula, and write the numbers into it
that are also given.

The key thing to spot is that the forest is <u><em>decreasing</em></u>, so the 'r' is <u>negative</u>,
just as if you had money in a savings account and every year the bank took
6% <u>out</u> of it.

So the formula to use is       f(x)  =  P (1 + r) ^x

P = 2000
r = -0.06
                        f(x)  =  2000 (1 - 0.06)^x
                               =  <em>2000 (0.94)^x</em>

The amount left after 12 years is
        
                                   2000 (0.94)¹² =

                                   2000 (0.476)  =<em>  951.8 square kilometers</em>.

Scientist are studying a bacteria sample. The function f(x)=360(1.07)^x gives the number of bacteria in the sample at the end of
Lapatulllka [165]

Options :

A. The initial number of bacteria is 7.

B. The initial of bacteria decreases at a rate of 93% each day.

C. The number of bacteria increases at a rate of 7% each day.

D. The number of bacteria at the end of one day is 360.

Answer:

C. The number of bacteria increases at a rate of 7% each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function :

f(x)=360(1.07)^x ; Number of bacteria in sample at the end of x days :

The function above represents an exponential growth function :

With the general form ; Ab^x

Where A = initial amount ;

b = growth rate

x = time

For the function :

A = initial amount of bacteria = 360

b = growth rate = (1 + r) = 1.07

If ; (1 + r) = 1.07 ; we can solve for r to obtain the daily growth rate ;

1 + r = 1.07

r = 1.07 - 1

r = 0.07

r as a percentage ;

0.07 * 100% = 7%
