Hi there! :)

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x = -1}

Given:

AC = 22

BC = x + 14

AB + x + 10

AC is equivalent to AB + BC, therefore:

AC = AB + BC

Substitute in the expressions:

22 = (x + 10) + (x + 14)

Combine like terms:

22 = 2x + 24

Subtract 24 from both sides:

-2 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2:

x = -1

Given : AC = 22, BC = x + 14, and AB = x + 10.

\rule{130}1

Solution :

:\implies\sf AB + BC  = AC\:\:\:\:\Bigg\lgroup \bf{Segment\: addition\: postulate}\Bigg\rgroup \\\\\\:\implies\sf (x + 10) + (x + 14) = 22\:\:\:\:\Bigg\lgroup \bf{Substitution}\Bigg\rgroup\\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x + 24 = 22\:\:\:\:\Bigg\lgroup \bf{Simplify\:(added\:like\:term)}\Bigg\rgroup\\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x = -2\\\\\\:\implies\sf x = \dfrac{-2}{2}\\\\\\:\implies\underline{\boxed{\pink{\sf x = -1}}}

How does a quadratic function differ from that of a linear or exponential
salantis [7]
Hello,

A linear function is a polynomial function of degree 1
(1,2,3,4,5,6,....)
A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree 2
(1,4,9,16,25,49,64,81,...)
A exponential function is not a polynomial function (we may imagine a infinity degree)
(1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,...)

The population of a colony of mosquitoes obeys the law of uninhibited growth. If there are 1000 mosquitoes initially and there a
STatiana [176]

Answer:

24761 mosquitoes

5.4 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation that shows the population of the mosquitoes after x days,

A=P(1+r)^x

Where,

P = Initial population,

r = rate of increasing per day,

Here, A = 1000, when x = 0,

1000=P(1+r)^0\implies P = 1000

A = 1900 when x = 1,

1900 = P(1+r)^1\implies 1900 = 1000(1+r)\implies 1.9 = 1 + r\implies r = 0.9

Thus, the required function that represents the population after x days,

A=1900(1+0.9)^x=1900(1.9)^x

If x = 4,

The number of mosquito after 4 days,

A=1900(1.9)^4 = 24760.99\approx 24761

If A = 60,000,

60000 = 1900(1.9)^x

\frac{600}{19}=1.9^x

Taking log both sides,

\log(\frac{600}{19})=x\log 1.9

\implies x = \frac{\log(\frac{600}{19})}{\log 1.9}=5.378\approx 5.4

Thus, there will 60,000 mosquitoes after 5 days.
