There is a drought and the oak tree population is decreasing at the rate of 6% per year. if the population continues to decrease at the same rate, how long will it take for the population to be a third of what it is? if necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth. the population will reach a third of its original value in approximately years

17.8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the population in a future year, use the formula:

where A is the amount, p is the starting population, r is 6% or 0.06, and t is the number of years.

Since the population is decreasing it is subtraction. Here we are finding t, A=1 P =3, and r=0.06.

-2

7 - 9 = -2

reversed:

-2 + 9 = 7

aloha~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this amazing day. to answer your question, yes, nonzero numbers can have a greatest common factor and that would be 1. still don't get it? let me considering every number is divisible by 1 and hence every number has 1 as a factor of theirs. so, if 2 nonzero numbers didn't share any gcf (greatest common factor), they would still have a factor in common and that would be 1.

i hope that this ! : p
