Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Because the line the angles x + 96 and 100 + x are on is straight, it's a straight angle that results in 180°.
2. Given the above information, that means x + 96 + 100 + x = 180.
3. (Solving for equation above)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
Step 2: Subtract 196 from both sides.
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.
Step 4: Check if solution is correct.
Therefore, x = -8.
So, here we have an exponential function.
Remember that an exponential function has the form:
Where a represents an initial amount, and r is the rate of this amount to change. (Increase, or decrease).
So, given that the population of City A in 2000 was 40 thousand people and the population increased by 13% each year, we can say that
So,
For city B:
But something different happens with city C. This is not an exponential function, this is a linear function.
So,
