Answer: x=-\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

By the negative exponent rule, you have that:

(\frac{1}{a})^n=a^{-n}

By the exponents properties, you know that:

(m^n)^l=m^{(nl)}

You can rewrite 16 and 9 as following:

16=4²

9=3²

Therefore, you can rewrite the left side of the equation has following:

(\frac{4^2}{3^2})^{(2x+5)}=(\frac{3}{4})^{(x-7)}\\\\(\frac{3^2}{4^2})^{-(2x+5)}=(\frac{3}{4})^{(x-7)}\\\\(\frac{3}{4})^{-2(2x+5)}=(\frac{3}{4})^{(x-7)}

 As the base are equal, then:

-2(2x+5)=x-7

Solve for x:

-2(2x+5)=x-7\\-4x-10=x-7\\-4x-x=-7+10\\-5x=3\\x=-\frac{3}{5}

How many different triangles can you make with the following conditions: angles measuring 45 degrees and 90 degrees and an INCLU
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

One

Step-by-step explanation:

Clearly, one triangle can be constructed as the angles 45 and 90 do not exceed 180 degrees. (so "None" is not correct)

To show that only one such triangle exists, you can apply the Angle-Side-Angle theorem for congruence.

Since one triangle can be constructed, it remains to be shown that no additional triangle that is not congruent to the first one can be created: I will use proof by contradiction. Let a triangle ABC be constructed with two angles 45 and 90 degree and one included side of length 1 inch. Suppose, I now construct a second triangle that is different from the first one but still has the same two angles and included side. By applying the ASA theorem which states that two triangles with same two angles and one side included are congruent, I must conclude that my triangle is congruent to the first one. This is a contradiction, hence my original claim could not have been true. Therefore, there is no way to construct any additional triangle that would not be congruent with the first one, and only one such triangle exists.

Osama starts with a population of 1,000 amoebas that increases 30% in size every hour for a number of hours, h. The expression 1
Blizzard [7]

Answer: The correct option is A, itis the product of the initial population and the growth factor after h hours.

Explanation:

From the given information,

Initial population = 1000

Increasing rate or growth rate = 30% every hour.

No of population increase in every hour is,

1000\times \frac{30}{100} =1000\times 0.3

Total population after h hours is,

1000(1+0.3)^h

It is in the form of,

P(t)=P_0(t)(1+r)^t

Where P_0(t) is the initial population, r is increasing rate, t is time and [tex(1+r)^t[/tex]  is the growth factor after time t.

In the above equation 1000 is the initial population and (1+0.3)^h is the growth factor after h hours. So the equation is product of of the initial population and the growth factor after h hours.

Therefore, the correct option is A, itis the product of the initial population and the growth factor after h hours.
