Answer:
x = -2 or -9
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the values of x such that the line defined by the two points (2x+3, x+2) and (0, 2) is perpendicular to the line defined by the two points (x+2, -3-3x) and (8, -1).
<h3>Slope</h3>
The slope of a line is given by the slope formula:
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
Using the formula, the slopes of the two lines are ...
m1 = (2 -(x+2))/(0 -(2x+3)) = (-x)/(-2x-3) = x/(2x +3)
and
m2 = (-1 -(-3-3x))/(8 -(x+2)) = (2+3x)/(6 -x)
<h3>Perpendicular lines</h3>
The slopes of perpendicular lines have product of -1:
<h3>Solutions</h3>
The values of x that satisfy this equation are x = -2 and x = -9. The attached graphs show the lines for each of these cases.

Answer:
2 hours: 3968 <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>
At midnight: 12137
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour. So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.
The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15. Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b. b is (1 + percent increase).
Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450
At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:
(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.
Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor, If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:
P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour. t is time, in hours.
If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is
P = ab^t
Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM. That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10
P = (3000)*(1.15)^10
P = 12137
