Simplify the following expression:
4(x+10)-3x-2-x

Which shows one way to determine the factors of  x3  +  5x2  –  6x  –  30 by grouping? x(x2  –  5)  +  6(x2  –  5)x(x2  +  5)  –  6(x2  +  5)x2(x  –  5)  +  6(x  –  5)x2(x  +  5)  –  6(x  +  5)

In 2009, there were 1570 bears in a wildlife refuge. in 2010, the population had increased to approximately 1884 bears. if this trend continues and the bear population is increasing exponentially, how many bears will there be in 2018?
