Question

1. The exponential function modeled below represents the number of square

Answer 1

Answer:

600,000 km²

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the exponential regression calculator : the regression fit obtained for the data is :

36510 * (1.08^x)

After 40 years ;

x = 40

Hence,

y = 36510 * 1.08^40

y = 36510 * 21.72452

y = 793,162.27 km

Hence, y is closest to 800,000 km
