Since 
represents the number of years passed since 2005, in 2005 we have 
, and in 2015 we have 
. Let 
represent the profits of Jones and Davis, respectively, at year y.
We have
Choosing the best company somehow depends on how much time you can wait: Jones start with a higher value (10 vs 8), but it has a descending trend, because the multiplicative factor 
goes to zero as t grows.
On the other hand, Davis starts with a smaller value, but 
tends to infinity as t grows.
So, if you need an immediate result, the most valuable company is Jones, otherwise you're certain can Davis will eventually become bigger.
More precisely, we have
So, after 11 years, Davis will overcome Jones.

Answer:
(a) cannot be determined
(b) 44 cm^2
(c) 87 m^2
(d) 180 m^2
(e) 132 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) missing a horizontal dimension
__
(b) The difference between the bounding rectangle and the lower-left cutout is ...
(8 cm)(7 cm) -(3 cm)(4 cm) = (56 -12) cm^2 = 44 cm^2
__
(c) The difference between the bounding rectangle and the center cutout is ...
(13 m)(7 m) -(4 m)(1 m) = (91 -4) m^2 = 87 m^2
__
(d) The difference between the bounding rectangle and the two cutouts is ...
(20 m)(25 m) -(16 m)(20 m) = (20 m)(25 -16) m = (20 m)(9 m) = 180 m^2
__
(e) The difference between the bounding rectangle and the two cutouts is ...
(14 m)(12 m) -(12 m)(3 m) = (12 m)(14 -3) m = (12 m)(11 m) = 132 m^2
Answer: a=4
Step-by-step explanation:
6a+9=33
Subtract
6a=24
Divide
a=4
E. x= 360-100-80-70=110
f. x= 360-85-40-65-75=95
g. x= 360-75-85-35-30-70= 65
I misread it but it isn't too different
set .12/.45 = x/100
cross multiply to solve for x
change x from a % to a decimal (for example: 12%=.12)
and that should be it
