Consider the radical equation √c+22 = c + 2.

First square both sides to get:

c + 22 = (c + 2)^2

or

c + 22 = c^2 + 4c + 4

Move the terms on the left side to the right side:

c^2 + 3c - 18 = 0

Factor to get:

(c + 6) * (c - 3) = 0.

The solutions are c = -6 and c = 3.

Check to see if these answers work by plugging them into the original equation:

c = -6:

sqrt (-6 + 22) ?= -6 + 2

But, -6 + 2 is a negative number, and you can't get a negative from a square root. So, -6 is extraneous.

c = 3:

sqrt (3 + 22) ?= 3 + 2

5 = 5. So, 3 works.

The answer is: B

A colony of bacteria is grown under ideal conditions in a laboratory so that the population increases exponentially with time. A
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Initial bacterias = 6006000

Altought I believe is safe to assume that the values were 192,000 and 384,000 instead of 192,192,000 and 384,384,000, in that case the initial bacterias is 6000

Step-by-step explanation:

A exponential growth follows this formula:

Bacterias  = C*rⁿ

C the initial amount

r the growth rate

n the number of time intervals

Bacterias (55 hours) = 192,192,000

Bacterias (66 hours) = 384,384,000

Bacterias(55hours)=C*r^{{\frac{55-t}{t}}} \\Bacterias (66hours) = C*r^{\frac{66-t}{t}}}

If you divide both you can get the growth rate:

\frac{Bacterias (66hours)}{Bacterias(55hours)}=\frac{C*r^{\frac{66-t}{t}}}{C*r^{{\frac{55-t}{t}}}} \\\frac{384,384,000}{192,192,000} =r^{\frac{66-t}{t} -\frac{55-t}{t} } \\2 =r^{\frac{11}{t}}

So with that r = 2 and each time interval correspond to 11 years

Then replacing in one you can get the initial amount of C

Bacterias (55hours)=C*2^{\frac{55-11}{11} } 192,192,000 = C*32\\C= 6006000

Which pairs of rectangles are similar polygons?
Ganezh [65]

The pairs of rectangles are similar polygons; Option C and Option D.

<h3>What is a polygon?</h3>

A polygon is a closed figure made up of three or more line segments connected end to end.

Similar polygon beings their sides have equivalent ratios to each other.

Two polygons whose corresponding angles are congruent and the lengths of the corresponding sides are proportional.

C. 1.89/2.1 = 81/0.9 = 90

D. 120 / 24 = 60 / 12 = 5

Hence, Option C and Option D are similar polygons only.
