professor190 [17]
Well, from 2008 to 2010 is just 2 years, so let's say the initial amount is the 19300 from 2008, how many will it be in 2010?

\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Growth}\\\\
A=I(1 + r)^t\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
I=\textit{initial amount}\to &19300\\
r=rate\to 20\%\to \frac{20}{100}\to &0.20\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &2\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=19300(1+0.2)^2

Write an expression for the area of the shaded region in its simplest form. Show all of your steps.
patriot [66]
The area of the shaded region will be the area of the rectangle minus the area of the white square inside of it:

((x+10)(2x+5)) - ((x+1)(x+1))

First, FOIL both of the areas separately:

(2x^2 + 5x + 20x + 50) - (x^2 + x + x + 1)

Simplify within the parentheses by adding like terms:

(2x^2 + 25x + 50) - (x^2 + 2x + 1)

Now, subtract one equation from the other:

2x^2 + 25x + 50
-x^2  -    2x  -   1
= x^2 + 23x + 49

This will be the equation for the area.

How is 1 over 9 a rational number?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Because 1/9 is a fraction with integers meaning it is a fraction with whole numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any number that can be written as a fraction with integers is called a rational number. For example, 17 and −34 are rational numbers. (Note that there is more than one way to write the same rational number as a ratio of integers. For example, 17 and 214 represent the same rational number.)

Hope this helps
