Assuming that the friend's house is in the direction of the movie theater, if you take 10 then subtract the two miles before the pit stop, you get 8. Then subtract 30 to get -22 (the negative only means she went too far). That means she is 22 miles away from the movie theater. Hope this helps!
The initial number of trees is when t = 0:- 1500 * t^0 = 1500 so the answer is either a or c. The value 1.02 represents a 2% increase so the answer is Option c.
