A certain forest covers an area of 2100 km^2. Suppose that each year this area decreases by 5.25%. What will the area be after 6 years

Answer:

The area after 6 years is [tex]1519.49km^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]a = 2100[/tex] --- Initial Value

[tex]r = 5.25\%[/tex] --- Rate

Required

Determine the area after 6 years

Because the area reduces,, the following formula will be used to solve the question.

[tex]y = a*(1 - r)^t[/tex]

Here

[tex]t = 6[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y = 2100*(1 - 5.25\%)^6[/tex]

Convert percentage to decimal

[tex]y = 2100*(1 - 0.0525)^6[/tex]

[tex]y = 2100*(0.9475)^6[/tex]

[tex]y = 1519.47866516[/tex]

[tex]y = 1519.49[/tex] -- approximated

The area after 6 years is [tex]1519.49km^2[/tex]
