<PRE><B>Question 721428</B>
A certain region is losing about 14 million acres of rain forest each year. 
a. Find a linear function f that calculates the change in acres of rain forest in millions in x years.
Let Ao be the acres of rain forest to begin with.
-------------------
b. Find f(7) and interpret the results.
a. f(x)= Ao-(14 million)x
b. f(7)= Ao - (7*14 million acres) Ao - 98 million acres
-----------------
Interpret the results:
After 7 years, the region can expect to have lost about 98 million acres of rain forest.
