Since this culture of bacteria obeys the law of uninhibited growth. Given that 500 bacteria are present initially, and there are 800 after 1 hour, a growth rate of 0.470003629246 (k value) has been calculated. <span>5243 </span>will be present after 5 hours.
Let s represent the length of any one side of the original square. The longer side of the resulting rectangle is s + 9 and the shorter side s - 2.
The area of this rectangle is (s+9)(s-2) = 60 in^2.
This is a quadratic equation and can be solved using various methods. Let's rewrite this equation in standard form: s^2 + 7s - 18 = 60, or:
s^2 + 7s - 78 = 0. This factors as follows: (s+13)(s-6)=0, so that s = -13 and s= 6. Discard s = -13, since the side length cannot be negative. Then s = 6, and the area of the original square was 36 in^2.
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
If T is the midpoint, that means segments ST and TU are congruent.
Step 1: Set up expression
8x + 11 = 12x - 1
Step 2: Solve
11 = 4x - 1
12 = 4x
x = 3
