You can find the population of birds in a certain area from 1960-2000 using the function fx=1000 square root of x-1950. Using this model, in which year was the population of birds in the area 5000?
To find out in which year the population of birds in the area was 5000, we need to solve the equation:
5000 = 1000√(x-1950)
Dividing both sides by 1000:
5 = √(x-1950)
Now, square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root:
25 = x - 1950
Add 1950 to both sides:
1975 = x
Therefore, in the year 1975, the population of birds in the area was 5000 according to the given model.
solve this in a different order
Sure, we can solve this in a different order by first isolating the square root on one side of the equation:
5000 = 1000√(x-1950)
Divide both sides by 1000:
5 = √(x-1950)
Square both sides:
25 = x - 1950
Add 1950 to both sides:
x = 1975
Therefore, in the year 1975, the population of birds in the area was 5000 according to the given model.
do the first step in a different order
Sure, we can first isolate the quantity inside the square root before squaring both sides:
5000 = 1000√(x-1950)
Divide both sides by 1000:
5 = √(x-1950)
Now, square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root:
25 = x - 1950
Add 1950 to both sides:
1975 = x
Therefore, in the year 1975, the population of birds in the area was 5000 according to the given model.
