The answer is 144.

AC and CE have the same ratio as BA and DE. So you can get the answer by getting their proportions.

 84 = 7 
156-x x

Cross multiply, transpose, and simplify to get the variable x.

84x = 1092-7x
84x + 7x = 1092
91x = 1092
x = 12

To get AC, substitute.

AC = 156 - x
AC = 156 - 12
AC = 144

in 2012, the population of a city was 63,000. by 2017, the population was reduced to approximately 54,100. identify any equation

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

$f(x) = 63000(0.97)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(0) = 63000$ ---x = 0, in 2012

$f(5) = 54100$ -- x = 5, in 2017

Required

Select all possible equations

Because there is a reduction in the population, as time increases; the rate must be less than 1.

An exponential function is represented as:

$f(x) = ab^x$

Where

$b = rate$

rate > 1 in options (a) and (b) i.e. 1.03

This implies that (a) and (b) cannot be true

For option (c), we have:

$f(x) = 63000(0.97)^x$

Set x = 0

$f(0) = 63000(0.97)^0 = 63000*1=63000\\$

Set x = 5

$f(5) = 63000(0.97)^5 = 63000*0.8587=54098.1 \approx 54100$

This is true because the calculated values of f(0) and f(5) correspond to the given values

For option (d), we have:

$f(x) = 52477(0.97)^x$

Set x = 0

$f(0) = 52477(0.97)^0 - 52477* 1 = 52477$

This is false because the calculated value of f(0) does not correspond to the given value

For option (e), we have:

$f(x) = 63000(0.97)^\frac{1}{5x}$

Set x = 0

$f(0) = 63000(0.97)^\frac{1}{5*0} = 63000(0.97)^\frac{1}{0} =$ undefined

This is false because the f(x) is not undefined at x = 0

For option (f), we have:

$f(x) = 52477(0.97)^{5x$

Set x = 0

$f(0) = 52477(0.97)^{5*0} = 52477(0.97)^0 =52477*1= 52477$

This is false because the calculated value of f(0) does not correspond to the given value

From the computations above, only (c) $f(x) = 63000(0.97)^x$ is true

The price for 11 ballpoint pens is $11.77. Which of the following represents the same price per pen? A. 4 pens for $4.44 B. 5 pe

Harrizon [31]

First we need to know how much each pen costs. So we take 11.77 and divide it by 11. That gives us 1.07 per pen. So answer choice A has 4 pens for 4.44, so we need to multiply 1.07 x 4. That gives you 4.28, so we know that isn't the correct answer. For option B, we need to multiply 1.07 x 5. That is 5.35, so that also can't be the answer. For C, we need to do 1.07 x 6, and that gives us 6.42. So we know the correct answer is option C.
