Answer: The dimesions will be decreased by 13.05%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, we have to calculate the original area.

Area of a rectangle = Length x width

Replacing with the values given:

A = 40x50 = 2000 ft2

Since is reduced to 1739. if we multiply the original area by a the percentage decrease, and subtract that value to the original area, we obtain 1739 ft2.

2000 - (2000x) = 1739

Solving for x

-2000x = 1739 -2000

-2000x = -261

x =-261/-2000

x = 0.1305

Multiply by 1000 to obtain the percentage:

0.1305 x 100 = 13.05%

A city's population increases by 5% every year. If its population today is 300,000, write a function that models the population
ratelena [41]

Answer:

f(x) = 300,000(1.05)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the exponential growth equation:

f(x) = a(1 + r)^x

Plug in 300,000 as a, since it is the original population:

f(x) = 300,000(1 + r)^x

The city's population is growing at 5% each year, so plug in 0.05 as r:

f(x) = 300,000(1 + 0.05)^x

f(x) = 300,000(1.05)^x

So, the function for the population growth is f(x) = 300,000(1.05)^x
