Mathematics

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle formed by the tangent BC and the radius AB is right at B

Thus ΔABC is right with AC as the hypotenuse

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, hence

AC² = AB² + BC² ← substitute given values

(x + 6)² = x² + 12² ← expand squared parenthesis on left side

x² + 12x + 36 = x² + 144 ( subtract x² from both sides )

12x + 36 = 144 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

12x = 108 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 9

Alborosie

Answer: Town 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Town 1's population is growing at a factor of 1.02 which means that it is increasing by 2% a year.

Town 2 is growing at a factor of 0.999 which means that it is decreasing at a rate of:

= 1 - 0.999

= 0.1%

Town 3's population is increasing by 150 a year and town 4 is 200 people a year.

Town 1 will eclipse them all eventually because it is <u>growing proportionally at 2%</u>.

Towns 3 and 4 will eventually see 150 and 200 people fall below 2% of their town's population which means they will be growing at a slower rate than Town 1.
