Answer:

After the fifth year, the area will be 2,608.28 square km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The area is = 3,800 square km. (or, km^2)

Decreasing rate = 7.25% per year.

After 1st year, the area will be decreased to

= 3,800 - (3,800 x 7.25%)

= 3,800 - 275.5

= 3,524.5 square km.

After 2nd year,

3,524.5 - (3,524.5 x 7.25%) = 3,524.5 - 255.52625 = 3,268.97375 sq. km

After 3rd year,

3,268.97375 - (3,268.97375 x 7.25%) = 3,268.97375 - 237.00 = 3,031.97375 sq. km.

After 4th year,

3,031.97375 - (3,031.97375 x 7.25%) = 3,031.97375 - 219.818 = 2,812.15575 sq. km.

After 5th year,

2,812.15575 - (2,812.15575 x 7.25%) = 2,812.15575 - 203.88 = 2,608.27575 sq. km.

Therefore, after the fifth year, the area will be 2,608.28 square km.

If we do a complex method,

The formula will be,

Total area x (1 - decreasing rate)^ year

= 3,800 x (1 - 0.0725)^5 = 2,608.28 square km.

Which of the following best describes the relationship between (x-2) and the polynomial 2x^3+x^2-3
pantera1 [17]
If (x - 2) is a factor of 2x³ + x² - 3 then for the value of x = 2 the polynominal is equal zero.
Substitute:
2 · 2³ + 2² - 3 = 2 · 8 + 4 - 3 = 16 + 4 - 3 = 17 ≠ 0
Answer: B) (x - 2) is not a factor.
