Your answer is B - Seperate and Distinct
Answer: use the order of operations and combine like terms
Step-by-step explanation:
what you do to one side of the equals sign you must do to the other
Answer:
a^2
−10a+21
Step-by-step explanation:
(a−7)(a−3)
Apply the distributive property by multiplying each term of a−7 by each term of a−3.
a^2
−3a−7a+21
Combine −3a and −7a to get −10a.
a^2
−10a+21
The '40 years' is not part of the question. It's just there to prove that
'2% each year' has been the experience for the past 40 years, so it's
a good number to use for the rate of growth, past or future.
So, at any number of years 'Q' after the beginning of "this period",
the population was or will be
Pop = (220,000) (1.02)^Q power.
(This equation is familiar from all of the bank-interest problems
the student has done in past math classes.)
In 10 years after the beginning of "this period",
Pop = (220,000) (1.02)¹⁰ = <em>243,800 </em>(or any reasonably close number)
