A square piece of paper has an area of x2 square units. A
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Length of rectangular strip = 12

area of rectangular strip =   2*12 = 24

Area of square =  x^2 = 12^2 = 144

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square x^2

area of rectangle is given by length * width

Length of rectangular strip = x

width of rectangular strip = 2

area of rectangular strip =  length * width = 2*x = 2x

Area of square piece of paper when  rectangular strip is taken away from it

= Area of square - area of rectangular strip

= x^2 -2x

It is given that Area of square piece of paper when  rectangular strip is taken away from it is 120 square units.

Thus,

x^2 -2x = 120\\=> x^2 -2x -120 = 0\\=> x^2 -12x +10x-120\\=> x(x-12) +10(x-12)\\=> (x+10)(x-12) = 0\\\\

Thus,

either x+10 = 0 or x -12= 0

x = -10 or x = 12

but length cannot  be negative hence neglecting x = -10

hence value of x is 12.

Hence,

Length of rectangular strip = 12

area of rectangular strip =   2*12 = 24

Area of square =  x^2 = 12^2 = 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:

<em></em>f(x) = 63000(0.97)^x<em></em>

<em></em>

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

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

For option (d), we have:

f(x) = 52477(0.97)^x

Set x = 0

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

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

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

<em>This is false because the f(x) is not undefined at x = 0</em>

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

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

<em>From the computations above, only (c) </em>f(x) = 63000(0.97)^x<em> is true</em>
