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:
Answer:
The solutions are x = -7, 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the solutions, move everything to one side of the equation so the equation is equal to 0. Then factor. Set the factors equal to 0 and solve for x.
x+7 = 0
x = -7
and
x-6 = 0
x = 6
The solutions are x = -7, 6.
