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:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
If an expression is not dependent on x, it simplified form must not contain x. To show that this is the case for (a) and (b) we need to simplify them and assess:
(a)
Indeed, does not depend on x!
And (b)
Again, does not depend on x.
