The decline in the number of farms means there is a reduction in the number of farms

The number of US farms after 5 years is 3584818

<h3>How to determine the number of farms</h3>

The equation that represents the number of farms is given as:

$y=3962000e^{-0.02t$

After 5 years, the value of t is 5.

So, we have:

$y=3962000e^{-0.02*5$

Evaluate the product

$y=3962000e^{-0.1$

Evaluate the exponent

$y=3962000*0.9048$

Evaluate the product

$y=3584817.6$

Approximate

$y=3584818$

Hence, the number of US farms after 5 years is 3584818
