Please show all work involved so that I may understand this a bit better. I got it wornd on a test and my teacher will not tell us how to do it now.
There is a Decline in open farmland. The number of acres of f.land has decreased from 945 million acres in 2000 to 932 million in 2006. Assume that the number of acres of f.land is decreasing Exponentially.
1) find the k, and write an equation for an exponential function that can predict the number of acres of f.land t years after 2000.
2) predict the number of acres of f.land in 2015.
3) in what year will there only be 800 million acres of farmland remaining.
