Answer:

A(t)=(0.902)^t \cdot 1500 [km^2]

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, the initial area of the  forest at time t = 0 is

A_0 = 1500 km^2

After every year, the area of the forest decreases by 9.8%: this means that the area of the forest every year is (100%-9.8%=90.2%) of the area of the previous year.

So for instance, after 1 year, the area is

A_1 = A_0 \cdot \frac{90.2}{100}=0.902 A_0

After 2 years,

A_2=0.902 A_1 = 0.902(0.902A_0)=(0.902)^2 A_0

And so on. So, after t years, the area of the forest will be

A(t)=(0.902)^t A_0

And by substituting the value of A0, we can find an explicit expression:

A(t)=(0.902)^t \cdot 1500 [km^2]

An object travels 8 miles in 20 minutes at a constant speed. What is the
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The answer is 0.4mph

Here's the question sorry​
Lunna [17]

L =  total number of slices for Luke

K = total number of slices for Kira

A = total number of slices for Ali

\stackrel{\textit{two thirds of all slices}}{\cfrac{2}{3}L}=4\implies 2L=12\implies L=\cfrac{12}{2}\implies L=6 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{two thirds of all slices}}{\cfrac{2}{3}K}=6\implies 2K=18\implies K=\cfrac{18}{2}\implies K=9 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{two thirds of all slices}}{\cfrac{2}{3}A}=8\implies 2A=24\implies A=\cfrac{24}{2}\implies A=12
