Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The above question is in the form of an exponential decay. The equation for an exponential decay is given by:
where y and x are variables, b < 1, a is the initial value of y (that is the value of y when x = 0).
Let y represent the number of trees left and x represent the number of months. Given that there is currently 2.5 billion trees, therefore a = 2.5 * 10⁹, b = 0.5% = 0.005. The equations becomes:
For this case we have a function of the form:
y = A * (b) ^ t
Where,
A: initial amount
b: growth rate
t: time
Substituting values we have:
y = 1000 * (3) ^ ((1/8) * t)
For 24 years we have:
y = 1000 * (3) ^ ((1/8) * 24)
y = 27000
Answer:
D) 27,000; exponential
Answer:
sin A = 12/13
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions
sin theta = opposite side/ hypotenuse
sin A = 12/13
The hypotenuse of a 45 45 90 triangle equals one of the legs times the square root of 2
hypotenuse = 8 *
