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>

Mary,Tom,Sophia &amp; Isaac share minutes on their cell phone plan. Mary used 1/4 of the minutes,Tom used 0.5 of the minutes,and
nataly862011 [7]
Hello there! So, 1/4 is equivalent to 0.25, which is 25% in percent form. 0.5 is 50% and 0.2 is 20% in percent form. 50 + 20 + 25 is 95. 100 - 95 is 5. Issac can use 5% of the minutes on the cell phone plan. The answer is D: 5%.

The DNR is planning a study to determine whether breakwaters help decrease erosion at a large lake. They divide the shoreline in
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

(D) A stratified random sample

Step-by-step explanation:

A stratified random samples are samples that involves the use of stratified random sampling (or stratification) which involves the partition or division of a population into smaller subgroups (called strata). The division is done based on some shared characteristics and attributes. The case above is a stratified random sample because it involves the division of shoreline(population) into 100-foot plots(stratas or subgroups).

Answer:

4(x^{2} -4)^{2} -76

Step-by-step explanation:

Take out 4:

4(x^2-8x)-12

=4(x^2-8x+16-16)-12

=4(x^2-8x+16)-64-12

=4(x^2-4)^2 - 76

=4(x^{2} -4)^{2} -76
