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>.
