I am having trouble with this problem. I need to find the lengths of this right triangle. How would you do this?

You labeled the triangle wrong sides 'a' and 'b' are supposed to be the sides that make the right angle.  the other side is called the hypotenuse which is the longest side which you should have labeled 'c'

so Pythagorean theorem says
a^2+b^2=c^2
so
(2x+1)^2+(11x+5)^2=(12x+1)^2
distribute
(4x^2+4x+1)+(121x^2+110x+25)=(144x^2+24x+1)
add like terms
125x^2+114x+26=144x^2+24x+1
subtract 125x^2 from both sides
114x+26=19x^2+24x+1
subtract 114x from both sides
26=19x^2-90x+1
subtract 26 from both sides
0=19x^2-90-25
factor
(x-5)(19x+5)=0
therefor x-5=0 and/or 19x+5=0
so
x-5=0 add 5 to both sides
x=5
19x+5=0
subtract 5 from both sides
19x=-5
divide both sides by 19
x=-5/19
since side legnths can't be negative, we can cross this solution out

so x=5
subtitute
1+2x
1+2(5)
1+10=11
side a=11

11x+5
11(5)+5
55+5=60
side b=60

12x+1
12(5)+1
60+1=60
side c=61
add them all up
side a+b+c=11+60+61=132=total legnth

.A bacteria culture grows at a rate of 20%
Zolol [24]

The number of the specimens would be in the culture after 5 minutes will be 7,962.62.

<h3>What is an exponent?</h3>

Consider the function:

y = a (1 + r) ˣ

Where x is the number of times this growth occurs, a = initial amount, and r = fraction by which this growth occurs.

A bacteria culture grows at a rate of 20% per minute.

If the culture initially has 3,200 bacteria specimens.

Then the equation will be

y = 3200 (1 + 0.2) ˣ

y = 3200 (1.20) ˣ

Then the number of the specimens would be in the culture after 5 minutes will be

y = 3200 (1.20)⁵

y = 7962.62

More about the exponent link is given below.

If the xy-plane, the graph of y=x^2 and the circle with center (0,1) and radious 3 have how many points of intersection?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
<span>The answer to this question is c, two. The top arc of the circle intersects the y=x^2 as each 'limb' extends into infinity. The part of the circle below the x-axis does not intersect the circle. The y=x^2 curve does not dip below the x-axis, but does extend into infinity on both the negative x-axis and positive x-axis.</span>

Find a 20 given that a 3 = 9 and a 8 = 24
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

<u>a₂₀ = 60</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given :-</u>

a₃ = 9

a₈ = 24

<u>To find :-</u>

a₂₀

<u>Solving :-</u>

Expand the given values.

a + 2d = 9 -(1)

a + 7d = 24 -(2)

Now subtract (1) from (2).

=> 5d = 15

=> d = 3

a = 9 - 2d

a = 9 - 6

a = 3

<u>Final answer :-</u>

a₂₀

= a + 19d

= 3 + 19(3)

= 3+ 57

= 60

<u>a₂₀ = 60</u>
