Prove that triangle with side lengths of x^2-1, 2x, x^2+1 is a right triangle.

Right triangles must follow the pythagorean theorem, so a^2+b^2=c^2.

Let's find a^2 and b^2 by squaring the first 2 side lengths.

(x^2-1)^2= x^4-2x^2+1
(2x)^2= 4x^2

Then add the two to find c^2
x^4+ 2x^2 +1= c^2

Root both sides
x^2+1=c

Since the side lengths can be plugged into the pythagorean theorem, the side lengths must represent a right triangle.
Hope this helps!

The number of bacteria in a culture is given by the function n(t) =950e^0.45t Where t is measured in hours A) what is the contin
tatiyna

Answer:

a) The continuous rate of growth of this bacterium population is 45%

b) Initial population of culture at t = 0 is 950 bacteria

c) number of bacterial culture contain at t = 5 is 9013 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bacteria in a culture is given by

n(t) = 950e^{0.45t}

a) rate of growth is

Bacteria growth model N(t) = noe^{rt}

Where r is the growth rate

hence r = 0.45

              = 45%

b) Initial population of culture at t = 0

n(0) = 950e^{0.45(0)}

       = 950e^{0}

       = 950 bacteria

c) number of bacterial culture contain at t = 5

n(5) =  950e^{0.45(5)}

      = 950e^{2.25}

      = 9013.35

      = 9013 bacteria
