Answer:
The area after 9 years will be 1,234 km^2
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating what the area of a certain forest that decreases at a certain percentage would be after some years.
To answer this question, we shall be using an exponential approximation.
Now, to use this exponential approximation, we shall be needing a supporting exponential mathematical equation.
This can be written as;
A = I(1-r)^t
where A is the new area we are looking for
I is the initial area which is 1700 according to the question
r is the rate of decrease which is 3.5% = 3.5/100 = 0.035
t is time which is 9 years according to the question
We plug these values and have the following;
A = 1700(1-0.035)^9
A = 1700(0.965)^9
A = 1,233.66
This is 1,234 km^2 to the nearest square kilometer
Answer:
5 times as large
Step-by-step explanation:
You can think of "10^5" as "green marbles" if you like. Then your question is ...
5 green marbles is how many times as large as 1 green marble.
Hopefully, the answer is all too clear: it is 5 times as large.
_____
In math terms, when you want to know how many times as large y is as x, the answer is found by dividing y by x:
y/x . . . . . tells you how many times as large as x is y.
Here, that looks like ...
Answer:
Twenty divided by four equals five.
The answer should be h(3)= -5
And the answer is......
5.08
