Solve the problem.
-The number of acres in a landfill decreases according to the function $$B = 5300 e ^ { - 0.03 t }$$ where t is measured in years. How many acres will the landfill have after 1 years?
A) 18,585 acres
B) 4946 acres
C) 8071 acres
D) 5143 acres

Plug in t = 1 into the equation to get:
$$B = 5300 e ^ { - 0.03 (1) } \approx 5143$$
Therefore, the landfill will have approximately 5143 acres after 1 year, so the correct answer is choice D.

Solve the Problem B=5300e−0.03tB = 5300 e ^ { - 0.03 t }B=5300e−0.03t

Solve the Problem $B = 5300 e ^ { - 0.03 t }$
