a. If G(t) = a (1 + r)ᵗ, then G(0) = a corresponds to the starting area of the glacier, which is given to be 142 acres. So a = 142.

The area of the glacier shrinks by 4.4% each year. This means that after 1 year, the area is reduced to

142 - (4.4% of 142) = 142 (1 - 0.044) ≈ 135.75 acres

After another year,

135.75 - (4.4% of 135.75) = 135.75 (1 - 0.044) ≈ 129.78 acres

or equivalently, 142 (1 - 0.044)² acres.

And so on. After t years, the glacier would have an area of

G(t) = 142 (1 - 0.044)ᵗ   ⇒   G(t) = 142 × 0.956ᵗ

b. If the year 2007 corresponds to t = 0, then 2012 refers to t = 5. Then the area of the glacier is

G(5) = 142 × 0.956⁵   ⇒   G(5) ≈ 113.39 acres

c. Simply take the difference between G(5) and G(0) :

G(5) - G(0) ≈ 142 - 113.39 ≈ 28.61 acres

d. The average rate of change of G(t) from 2007 to 2012 is given by the difference quotient of G(t) over the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 5 :

ARC_{[2007,2012]} = \dfrac{G(5) - G(0)}{5 - 0} \approx \dfrac{113.39 - 142}5

so that ARC ≈ -5.72 acres/year. This rate tells us that a little less than 6 acres of glacial ice is lost each year, based on the reduction over the first 5 years.

e. The year 2017 refers to t = 10, so now we compute

ARC_{[2012,2017]} = \dfrac{G(10) - G(5)}{10 - 5} \approx \dfrac{90.55-113.39}5

which comes out to about ARC ≈ -4.57 acres/year. Since this rate is smaller than the ARC between 2007 and 2012, this means that the glacial ice is disappearing at a slower rate in later years.

So 10.38 gal at 2.289 oer gal but you want american mony so round 2.289 to two decimal places so 2.29 per gallon

2.29 times 10.38=23.7702 but you just cross out the '2' in the ten-thousanth's place because 1/50 of a cent is really small


it is not possible to pay 9/10 of a cent so they just want you to round it up to 1 cent or10/10 cent

Okay first off. You want to combine like terms. 

2.75-1.5=1.25j 
2.25+3=5.25

Now you just fit those two answers into the final answer and you have:

1.25j+5.25.
