The answer is E. 2^2/7 + 2/7
Start by adding up the total sales in 2011 and 2012. You can make approximate estimates for the bars that are between lines. Since everything is in millions, you can ignore the 6 zeros behind every number to speed up your calculation:
1) In 2011, Asia sold 250, America sold 325, Europe sold ~210, Africa sold 150. The total in 2011 was 250+325+210+150 = 935.
2) In 2012, Asia sold ~130, America sold ~280, Europe sold ~230, and Africa sold ~140. The total in 2012 was 130+280+230+140=780.
Now find the percent decrease. Percentage decrease is basically what percent of your original number was subtracted from that original number to get the new number.
Percent decrease is calculated by (1) calculating the decrease from original number-new number, then (2) dividing that decrease by the original number, and then (3) multiplying your quotient by 100% to get a percentage:
1) Your original number is 935, from 2011, because that's the year you started out with. Your final number is 780, from 2012. The decrease is: 935-780 = 155.
2) Divide 155 by your original number. 155/935 ≈ 0.17
3) Finally multiply your quotient from step 2 by 100% to get your percent decrease: 0.17*100% = 17%.
The answer is A) 17.
From the odd-degree terms, take out one copy and rewrite the series as
Then if |<em>x</em>| < 1, we can condense this to
Since the series we invoked here converge on -1 < <em>x</em> < 1, so does this one.
Answer: {x,y} = {4,2}
[1] x - 4y = -4
[2] 5x - 4y = 12// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] x = 4y - 4
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [2]
[2] 5•(4y-4) - 4y = 12
[2] 16y = 32
// Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] 16y = 32
[2] y = 2
// By now we know this much :
x = 4y-4
y = 2
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = 4(2)-4 = 4

Answer:
37
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 ways to do this, the first is to just count the number of shaded squares (35)
The second is to find the area of the larger shaded square and subtract the smaller un-shaded rectangles
The large square is 7x7=49 squares
There are two 2x3 rectangles, which are 6 each
49-6-6=37
