A certain forest covers an area of 2500 km^2.
. Suppose that each year this area decreases by 7%.
. What will the area be after 10 years?
round your answer to the nearest square kilometer.

Answer:

1209.95 km^2

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be represented as exponential decreasing function.

 y = a(1 - r)t

  a = starting amount

r = rate

t = years

y =  2500(1 - .07)^10

= 2500(.93)^10 = 1209.95

In 10 years,  the forest will shrink in size to 1209.95 km^2
