The population of a species of rabbit triples every year. This can be modeled by f(x) = 4(3)* and f(5) = 972. What does the 3 represent? (1 point) The starting population of the rabbits
O The population of the rabbits after five years
The rate the population increases
The number of years that have passed

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
