A forest fire has been burning for several days. The burned area, in acres, is given by the equation y=(4,800)⋅2d, where d is the number of days since the area of the fire was first measured.
How much area had the fire burned a week before it measured 4,800 acres?
37.5 acres
Use d=-7 in the equation:
4800*2^-7=37.5
