The number of trees in a forest is decreasing due to deforestation. At the beginning of 1995, there were 10,844 trees in the forest. The following functions represents the number of trees remaining in the forest after m months.

T(m)= 10,844 * e^(-0.15m)

Approximately how many months will it take for there to only be 4,406 trees remaining in the forest?

Answer:

i.e T(m)=4406

e^(-0.15m)=4406/10844

ln(4406/10845)=-0.15

m=6.004

Deforestation facts

Here are some basic facts about deforestation. These facts are explored in greater depth below.

Forests are cut down to clear land for agriculture, livestock grazing, and settlement; for timber; to produce charcoal; and to establish tree plantations.

Deforestation occurs across all forest types, but is concentrated in the tropics and boreal regions. Temperate regions are experiencing a net increase in forest cover due to natural regeneration.
