Rain forests are defined as forests
that grow in regions that receive more than 70
inches of rain each year. The world is losing an estimated
49 million acres of rain forests annually. Give
symbolic, numerical, and graphical representations
for a sequence that models the total number of acres
(in millions) lost over a 7-year period
