Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

if you draw the picture in your copybook you will see that there is a right triangle, we have the Pythagorean theorem i.e c=√a²+b²

15=√9²+x². the trees tall=X

15²=9²+x²

x²= 144

X= 12

hope you will understand

This is a right triangle equation
so a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c^2 is the hypotenuse and the 15 feet

a^2 + 9^2 = 15^2
a^2 + 81 = 225
a^2 = 144

the square root of 144 is 12

the tree is 12 feet tall

Exposure to ionizing radiation is known to increase the incidence of cancer. One thousand laboratory rats are exposed to identic
mojhsa [17]

Missing information :

The model was omitted from the question ; the possible model relating to the question was browsed online and could possibly be :

N(t) = 1.07t^2.3 for 0 ≤ t ≤ 10 months

Answer:

30.9 cases per month

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the model to determine the number of rats that have developed cancer after initial exposure ; N(t) = 1.07t^2.3

N(t) = 1.07t^2.3

Take the first derivative of N with respect to t to obtain the rate of change ;

N'(t) = (1.07)(2.3)t^2.3-1

N'(t) = (1.07)(2.3)t^1.3

The rate of growth of cancer cases at the 7th month can be calculated thus :

t = 7

N'(7) = (1.07)(2.3)t^1.3

N'(7) = 1.07 * 2.3 * 7^1.3

N'(7) = 1.07 * 2.3 * 12.549529

N'(7) = 30.884

The rate of growth of cancer at the 7th month is 30.9 cases per month.
