Short leg = x-6m
Longer leg =x
Hypotenuse = x+6m

x² + (x-6)² =(x+6)²
x² + x²-12x+36 = x²+12x+36
2x²-12x+36= x² +12x+36
2x²-12x+36-36= x² +12x+36-36
2x² - 12x-12x = x²+12x-12x
2x² -24x-x² = x²-x²
x² -24x = 0
x(x-24)=0
x = 24

Short leg = 24-6m = 18
Longer leg =24
Hypotenuse = 24+6m=30

Check
a² + b² = c²
18² +24² =30²
324 +576 = 900
900=900

The number of bacteria growing in an incubation culture increases with time according to n left parenthesis t right parenthesis
Anon25 [30]
For this case we have the following function:
 n (t) = 2400 * (5) ^ t 
 For n (t) = 60000 we have:
 60000 = 2400 * (5) ^ t
 We clear the value of t.
 For this we use the logarithm:
 (5) ^ t = 60000/2400
 log5 ((5) ^ t) = log5 (60000/2400)
 t = log5 (60000/2400)
 t = 2 days
 Answer:
 
the number of bacteria in the culture will be 60 comma 000 after:
 
t = 2 days

Alla [95]

Answer:

-0.02 gallons per mile

Step-by-step explanation:

You're in luck. The fuel consumption of the car is linear, and the slope - ie, the coefficent of the x term gives you the rate of change. In this case, it's -0.02 gallons per mile.
