Step-by-step explanation:

the area is

$A=\frac{(12+12-4x)(x+2)}{2}\\=2(6-x)(x+2)\\=-2x^2+8x+24\\=-2(x^2-4x+4)+32\\=-2(x-2)^2+32$

will max if

a. x = 2

and the max area is

b 32

The number of fish in a lake decreases by x% each year.

Temka [501]

The number of fish decreases by x% each year. x% can also be written as 0.01x.

If the total number of fish in a lake is A, after one year the number of fish will be:

$A_{1}=A(1-0.01x)$

After two years the number of fish will be:

$A_{2}=A(1-0.01x)^{2}$

So, the general formula for the number of fish after n years can be written as:

$A_{n}=A(1-0.01x)^{n}$

It is given that after 8 years, the number of fish is reduced to half. So we can write:

$0.5A=A(1-0.01x)^{8} \\ \\ 
0.5=(1-0.01x)^{8} \\ \\ 
0.917=1-0.01x \\ \\ 
0.01x=0.083 \\ \\ 
x=8.3$

This means the value of x is 8.3%. So, the number of fish in a lake decreases by 8.3% each year
