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>

I dont know how to do any of these problems can someone help me
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

#7.  JK = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

So all these problems are similar in the fact that you are given three pieces of information and you need to determine x.  Let's look at #7.

We are to find the length JK but we are given it in terms of x.  To find the length, we need to find x.  Using the information we have about KL and JL, we can find this.  Note, the value of JL is 5, and the value of KL is x + 8.

JK + KL = JL

( 2x + 9 ) + ( x + 8 ) = 5

3x + 17 = 5

3x = -12

x = -4

Now that we have the value of x,  we can find the value of JK:

JK = 2x + 9

JK = 2(-4) + 9

JK = -8 + 9

JK = 1

Hence, the length of JK is 1.

Using this same basic idea, you can solve all of these problems.

Cheers.

9. Convert 10,000 seconds into<br> hours
arlik [135]

Answer: 2.7777 hours

Step-by-step explanation: Here, we're asked to convert 10,000 seconds into hours.

Unfortunately, we don't have a conversion factor for seconds and hours. However, we know that 60 seconds = 1 minute and 60 minutes = 1 hour.

So we can convert 10,000 seconds into hours by using both of these conversion factors. Also, it's important to understand that when we go from a smaller unit, seconds, to a larger unit, hours, we divide.

So let's first convert 10,000 seconds into minutes by dividing 10,000 by the conversion factor, 60, to get 166.6666 minutes.

Next, we convert minutes to hours by dividing 166.6666 by the conversion factor, 60, to get 2.7777 hours.

So 10,000 seconds is approximately equal to 2.7777 hours.
