A certain forest covers an area of 1900 km2. Suppose that each year this area decreases by 4.25%. What will the area be after 6 years?
Use the calculator provided and round your answer to the nearest square kilometer.

Answer 1

1464 square kilometers

Explanation:

Understanding :

• Since it decreases by 4.25%, we can say that each year, the area is 95.75% of the previous year
• The function can be written as 1900(0.9575)ⁿ, where n is the number of years

Year 6 :

• 1900(0.9575)⁶
• 1900(0.77060655)
• 1464 square kilometers (nearest square kilometer)
