The function that models exponential growth is:
P(t) = P0*(1 + r)^t, where
P0 = P(0) is the initial value of P
r is the growth rate as a decimal
In our case we have:
P(0) = 2800
r = 0.035 or 3.5%
P(t) = 2800*(1 + 0.035)^t
P(t) = 2800*(1.035)^t
The same exponential function written using y and t is:
y = 2800*1.035^t.

Hm in decimal form it’s .. 2.38095 or 2.3. Fraction 23/10 .. Percentage is 239%.. If this doesn’t help. Tell me what u mean and I’ll try my best to help!
Answer:
Let L be the length of the rectangle and w be the width of the rectangle.
"The lenght of a rectangle is one less than twice the width" means L=2W-1
Using perimeter formula of a rectangle which is P=2(L+W) you have:
P=2(L+W)
130=2(2W-1+W)
Solve equation above to find W
130=2(3W-1)
130=6W-2
130+2=6W
132=6W
W=22
From here you find L=2W-1=2x22-1=43
Only thing left is to find area A=LxW
