Using the Pythagorean Theorem formula, the measurement of the unknown side (base) is <u>12 units</u>.

<h3>How can the measurement of the unknown side of a right triangle be determined?</h3>

According to the Pythagorean Theorem formula, c² = √a²+b², where c = hypotenuse, a = perpendicular, and b = base.

The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle.

The shortest side is the perpendicular (adjacent side) while the other side is the base (opposite side).

Since the hypotenuse is given as equal to the square root of perpendicular squared and the base squared, we can compute the base, unknown side, using the following Pythagorean Theorem formula.

c² = √a²+b²

The perpendicular (shortest side) of a right triangle = 5

The hypotenuse (longest side) = 13

c² = √a²+b²

169 = √5²+b²

169 = √25 + b²

The base (unknown side):

b² = 169 - 25

b² = 144

The square root of √144 = 12

b = 12

Thus, the unknown side of the right triangle is the base, measuring <u>12 units</u>.

The length of the unknown side is 12 units, which is the base of the right triangle.

The right triangle's perpendicular (shortest side) = 5 units

The right triangle's hypotenuse (longest side) = 13 units

According to the Pythagorean Theorem,

H² = P² + B², Where H = hypotenuse, P = perpendicular, and B = base.

As per the given question, here H = 13 and P = 5

Substitute the values of H = 13 and P = 5 in the Pythagorean Theorem,

(13)² = (5)²+ B²

169 = 25 + B²

B² = 169 - 25

B² = 144

B = √144

B = 12 units

Therefore, the length of the unknown side is 12 units,

<h3>Answer:  8</h3>

=====================================

Work Shown:

y = 192\left(4^{x-3}\right)\\\\196,608 = 192\left(4^{x-3}\right)\\\\\frac{196,608}{192} = 4^{x-3}\\\\1024 = 4^{x-3}\\\\4^{x-3} = 1024\\\\\log\left(4^{x-3}\right)=\log\left(1024\right)\\\\(x-3)*\log\left(4\right)=\log\left(1024\right)\\\\x-3=\frac{\log\left(1024\right)}{\log\left(4\right)}\\\\x-3=5\\\\x=5+3\\\\x=8\\\\

It will take 8 hours for the population to reach 196,608 bacteria.

Which statement describes the end behavior of the exponential function f(x) = 2x – 3?
charle [14.2K]
The <u>correct answer</u> is:

As x→-∞, y→-3.
As x→∞, y→∞.

Explanation:

As our values of x get further into the negative numbers, the value of 2ˣ will approach 0.  This is because raising a number to a negative exponent "flips" the number below the denominator and raises it to a power; we end up with smaller and smaller fractions, eventually so small that they nearly equal 0.  

This will make the value of the function 0-3=-3.

As x gets larger and larger (towards ∞), the value of y, 2ˣ, continues to grow as well.  Since it continues to grow exponentially, we say the value approaches ∞.

Which expression represents the gcf of 154 and 196.
saveliy_v [14]
Answer=A

To find the gcf, we need to factor each number.

154=2*7*11

196=2*2*7*7

The number have a factor of 2 and a factor of 7 in common, so...


GCF=2*7
