Answer:

See answers below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Large Rectangle: length x width = (x + 3)(x - 4) =

x² - 4x + 3x - 12

x² - x - 12

Smaller Rectangle: length x width = (x)(3) = 3x

Shaded Region: shaded area = lg. rectangle minus small rectangle

A = (x² - x - 12) - 3x

A = x² - 4x - 12

Solve for x, if shaded reion's area is 48 square units:

48 = x² - 4x - 12

x² - 4x - 12 -48 = 0

x² - 4x - 60 = 0

(x - 10)(x + 6) = 0

x - 10 = 0 or x + 6 = 0

x = 10 or x = -6

But x represents a length, so x cannot be -6.

x = 10

A mother invests $7000 in a bank account at the time of her daughter's birth. The interest is 18) compounded quarterly at a rate

well, from birth to your twentieth birthday that'll just be 20 years, so

$~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$7000\\ r=rate\to 8\%\to \frac{8}{100}\dotfill &0.08\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{quarterly, thus four} \end{array}\dotfill &4\\ t=years\dotfill &20 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=7000\left(1+\frac{0.08}{4}\right)^{4\cdot 20}\implies A=7000(1.02)^{80}\implies A\approx 34128.07$
