Answer:

a.) (x-3)(x-3) = 25 + (x-4)(x-4)

x^2 - 6x + 9 = 25 + x^2 - 8x + 16

-6x + 9 = -8x + 41

2x + 9 = 41

2x = 32

x = 16

b.) 16 - 4 = 12

AB = 12

c.) 16 - 3 = 13

AC = 13

[btw I don't know if this is the method your teacher wants as it does not use the similar triangle :/ but it is still correct :) so good luck bro]

A moose population is growing exponentially following the pattern in the table shown below. Assuming that the pattern continues,
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

  •   <u> 7,692 moose.</u>

Explanation:

The table that shows the pattern for this question is:

Time (year) Population

  0                   40

  1                     62

  2                    96

  3                   149

  4                   231

A growing exponentially pattern may be modeled by a function of the form P(x) = P₀(r)ˣ.

Where P₀ represents the initial population (year = 0), r represents the multiplicative growing rate, and P(x0 represents the population at the year x.

Thus you must find both P₀ and r.

<u>1) P₀ </u>

  Using the first term of the sequence (0, 40) you get:

   P(0) = 40 = P₀ (r)⁰ = P₀ (1) = P₀

Then, P₀ = 40

<u>  2) r</u>

Take two consecutive terms of the sequence:

  • P(0) = 40 r⁰ = 40
  • P(1) = 40 r¹ = 40r = 62
  • P(1) / P(0) = 40r / 40 = 62/40
  • r = 62/40 = 1.55

 

You can verify that, for any other two consecutive terms you get the same result: 96/62 ≈ 149/96 ≈ 231/149 ≈ 1.55

<u>3) Model</u>

 

Thus, your model is P(x) = 40(1.55)ˣ

<u> 4) Population of moose after 12 years</u>

  • P(12) = 40 (1.55)¹² ≈ 7,692.019 ≈ 7,692, which is round to the nearest whole number.

Which represents the solution to the absolute value equation? 3|2x+4|-1=11
larisa86 [58]
The first step for absolute value equations is to isolate the expression contained within the absolute value bars:

3|2x+4|-1 = 11
3|2x+4| = 12
|2x+4| = 4

so |2x+4| is 4 units away from 0 on a number line, but we don't know in which direction -- negative or positive? you'll have two answers.

2x+4 = 4

AND

2x+4 = -4

solve both of those two step equations and you'll get

x = 0

AND

x = -4

so 0 and -4 are your solutions.

a student bought a juice pouch for $2.50 and 3 bags of chips. the total cost was $5.05 write and solve an equation to determine
Wittaler [7]

First, write it as an equation

2.50+3x=5.05

Next, subtract 2.50 from both sides

2.50-2.50+3x=5.05-2.50

3x=2.55

Divide 3 on both sides

3x/3=2.55/3

x=0.85

The cost of a bag of chips is 0.85

hope i helped :D

Geometry question plz help me!
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Any linear equation can be written as y = mx + b

The point will determine b

The slope (m) is found by this formula for a perpendicular line

m1 * m2 = - 1

m1 = -1/m2

m1 = -1/(-2/3)

m1 = 3/2

So our equation looks like

y = 3/2 x + b

Now we use the point (4,-8)

-8 = 3/2 (4) + b

-8 = 3(2) + b

-8 = 6 + b

b = - 14

The answer is

y = 4/2 - 14
