Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Given : ΔABC ~ ΔDEC

By the property of similarity,

"Corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional"

$\frac{\text{AB}}{ED}=\frac{BC}{EC}=\frac{AC}{DC}$

Since, $\frac{\text{AB}}{ED}=\frac{AC}{DC}$

$\frac{42}{6}=\frac{x}{(32-x)}$

6x = 42(32 - x)

6x = 1344 - 42x

6x + 42x = 1344

48x = 1344

x = $\frac{1344}{48}$

x = 28 units

Therefore, Option (A). x = 28 units will be the answer.

A bacteria culture begins with 15 bacteria which double in amount at the end of every hour. How many bacteria are grown during t

elixir [45]

We use P = i•e^rt for exponential population growth, where P = end population, i = initial population, r = rate, and t = time
P = 2•i = 2•15 = 30, so 30 = 15 [e^(r•1)],
or 30/15 = 2 = e^(r)
ln 2 = ln (e^r)
.693 = r•(ln e), ln e = 1, so r = .693
Now that we have our doubling rate of .693, we can use that r and our t as the 12th hour is t=11, because there are 11 more hours at the end of that first hour
So our initial population is again 15, and P = i•e^rt
P = 15•e^(.693×11) = 15•e^(7.624)
P = 15•2046.94 = 30,704

choli [55]

Answer:

RM79 608.51

Step-by-step explanation:

First year,

RM505 050.00×5%=RM505 050.00×5/100

=RM25 252.50

second year,

(RM505 050.00+RM25 252.50)×5%=RM530 302.50×5/100

=RM26 515.13

third year,

(RM530 302.50+RM26 515.13)×5%=RM556817.63×5/100

=RM27840.88

three years interest,

RM25 252.50+RM26 515.13+RM27840.88=RM79608.51

I don't know that is R or RM 

if it is R ,sorry

Hope can help!
