The value for m is -5
Putting the x⁵ on the denominator is just a way to get rid of the negative exponent.
In order to sole the problem you need to create an equation to model what you are trying to do.
You end up with an equation looking like
25000*0.95^t
25000 is the starting value when t=0
95% is the amount remaining after the 5% decay
0.95 is being raised to the power of t to determine how many times it has decayed
When t=3 the equation should be
25000*0.95^3=21434.375
Answer:
(x + 5) m
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Area (A) = (x² + 8x + 15) m²
Width (W) = (x + 3) m
Length (L) =?
The lenght of the rectangle can be obtained as follow:
A = L × W
x² + 8x + 15 = L (x + 3)
Divide both side by x + 3
L = x² + 8x + 15 / x + 3
L = (x + 5) m
Please attached photo for explanation.
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is: (x + 5) m
The legs are 5 inches long.
Use the Pythagorean theorem:

The length of the hypotenuse of the triangle is approximately 7 inches long.
