If you ever swam in a pool and your eyes began to sting and turn red, you felt the effects of an incorrect pH level. pH measures
the concentration of hydronium ions and can be modeled by the function p(t) = −log10t. The variable t represents the amount of hydronium ions; p(t) gives the resulting pH level.
Water at 25 degrees Celsius has a pH of 7. Anything that has a pH less than 7 is called acidic, a pH above 7 is basic, or alkaline. Seawater has a pH just more than 8, whereas lemonade has a pH of approximately 3.
Create a graph of the pH function either by hand or using technology. Locate on your graph where the pH value is 0 and where it is 1. You may need to zoom in on your graph.
The pool maintenance man forgot to bring his logarithmic charts, and he needs to raise the amount of hydronium ions, t, in the pool to 0.50. To do this, he can use the graph you created. Use your graph to find the pH level if the amount of hydronium ions is raised to 0.50. Then, convert the logarithmic function into an exponential function using y for the pH.
Recall from 07.02 how to convert a log to an exponential function. The equation y equals b to the power of x is written on the left. The equation x equals log base b of y is written on the right. A double-ended arrow points to both equations. The word exponent is written above the equations with arrows pointing to the x on the left and the x on the right. The word base is written below the equations with arrows pointing to the b on the left and the b on the right.
The pool company developed new chemicals that transform the pH scale. Using the pH function p(t) = −log10t as the parent function, explain which transformation results in a y-intercept and why. You may graph by hand or using technology. Use complete sentences and show all translations on your graph.

Answer:
D
Line segments are congruent due to the side-angle-side congruence postulate.
Step-by-step explanation:
DC is the perpendicular bisector of line AB, this mean that DC divides AB at 90 degrees into two equal parts at point E. Hence:
AE = BE
Also DE ≅ DE (reflexive property of congruence)
Also ∠AED = ∠BED = 90° (perpendicular bisector)
We can therefore say that triangle AED and triangle BED are congruent according to the side-angle-side congruence theorem. Therefore line AD = line BD
