The Amazon rainforest is gradually being destroyed by pollution and agricultural and industrial development. For simplicity, suppose that each year, 10% of the remaining forest is destroyed. Assume, also for simplicity, that the present area of the Amazon rainforest is 1,200,000 square miles.
1.a) What will the area of the forest be after 1 year of this destruction process?
1.b) What will the area of the forest be after 2 years of this destruction process?
2) Make a graph showing your results from Question 1 and continuing through 5 years of the destruction process. Include the present situation as a point on your graph.
3) Find a rule for how much rain forest will remain after X years. That is, express the area of the rain forest as a function of X.
Answer:
x > 77
Step-by-step explanation:
According to order of operations rules, we must carry out division before addition or subtraction. In this case we wish to isolate x and are permitted to simplify the inequality by combining the "like terms" 3 and 8, as follows:
X/7-3>8
+3 +3
--------------
x/7 > 11
The easiest way in which to solve for x is to multiply both sides of this inequality by 7:
7(x/7) > 7(11), or
x > 77
All numbers greater than 77 are part of the solution set.
