the area of a forest has been decreasing at a rate of 14% each year. The forest has a total area of 38.6 square miles. 3a.)Write an exponential decay model to find for any given number of years. 3b.)how many years would it take for the forest to be around 21 square miles in area? 3c.) If this continues, what will be the area in 15 years?

step-by-step explanation:

to determine whether a given function is even, we simply substitute x with -x in the expression. if the result after simplification is identical to the original equation, then the function is said to be even other wise odd.

f(-x) = (-x)^2 - (-x) + 8

      = x^2 + x +8

the resulting function is not identical to the original one;

f(-x) ≠ f(x)

therefore, f(x) is not an even function
