The value of x is equal to 14.

Since the bottom side is equal to 3 of the small triangle and the side of the larger triangle is equal to 9, that means that it was dilated by a factor of 3, since 3 * 3 = 9
So, the other side of 5, of the smaller triangle needs to be also be dilated by a factor of 3, so the new side is 15.
The larger triangle tells us that the side is x + 1, but we know that it is equal to 15. Since they are the same, we make them equal and solve for x
So, 15 = x + 1
We subtract 1 to isolate x and we get
14 = x
So, x is equals to 14.
I hope this helps.
YOU'RE WELCOME :D

<span>The general rule of thumb is that the smaller a substance's atoms and the stronger the bonds, the harder the substance to react and interact with other atoms. Since the stability is higher. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Researchers at a lake have determined that the percentage of fish in the lake that are intolerant to pollution can be estimated

dusya [7]

Answer:

a. 23.02 %

b. 49%

c. W

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- A multi-variable function for the percentage of fish in the lake that are intolerant to the pollution is given as:

$P ( W , R , A ) = 49 - 1.61W - 1.41R - 1.38A$

Where,

W: percentage of wetland

R: percentage of residential area

A: percentage of agriculture

- We are to evaluate the percentage of fish intolerant to pollution in the case where W = 3 , R = 15 , A = 0. We will plug in the values in the modeled function P ( W , R , A ) as follows:

$P ( 3 , 15 , 0 ) = 49 - 1.61*3 - 1.41*15 -1.38*0\\\\P ( 3 , 15 , 0 ) = 23.02\\$

- To determine the maximum percentage of fish that will be intolerant to pollution we will employ the use of critical points. The critical point that is defined by the linear relationship between P and all other parameters ( W, R , A ). The maximum value occurs when W = R = A = 0.

$P ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) = 49 - 1.61*0 -1.41*0 - 1.38*0 = 49$

- Hence, the maximum value of the function is 49%.

- The linear relationship between each induvidual parameter ( R, W , A ) and the function ( P ) is proportional in influence. The extent of influence can be quantized by the constant multiplied by each parameter.

- We see that that ( 1.61*W ) > ( 1.41R ) > ( 1.38A ). The greatest influence is by parameter ( W ) i.e the influence of percentage of wetlands .
