A bird species in danger of extinction has a population that is decreasing exponentially (A=Apekt). Five years ago the population was at 1800 and today only 1000 of the birds are alive. Once the population drops below 300, the situation will be irreversible. How many years from now will this happen? The population will drop below 300 birds approximately years from now. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest whole number as needed.) C
