Given parameters:
Current population = 530,300 people
Growth rate = 0.8% per year
Unknown
Population in 15 more years = ?
To solve this problem, we must compound the increase per year.
This implies that we treat the problem like that of a compound interest.
Since we know that population increases by 0.8%,
it is similar to 1 + = 1.008 increase
Now the population in 15years will be;
530300 x (1.008)¹⁵ = 597626 people
So, the population after 15yrs is 597626 people
The expression that represents the area of the rectangle is 2x² + 6x − 20. Thus, the correct option is C.
<h3>What is a rectangle?</h3>A parallelogram in which adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other is called a rectangle. A rectangle is always a parallelogram and a quadrilateral but reverse statement may or may not be true.
The area of the rectangle is the product of its length and its width. Therefore, the area of the given rectangle is,
Area = (2x-4)(x+5)
= 2x² + 10x - 4x - 20
= 2x² +6x - 20
Hence, the expression that represents the area of the rectangle is 2x² + 6x − 20. Thus, the correct option is C.
