Answer:
13.2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we will need to first solve for the base of the triangle and then use the information we find to solve for the shortest route.
(5.5 + 3.5)² + b² = 15²
9² + b² = 15²
81 + b² = 225
b² = 144
b = 12
Now that we know that the base is 12 miles, we can use that and the 5.5 miles in between Adamsburg and Chenoa to find the shortest route (hypotenuse).
5.5² + 12² = c²
30.25 + 144 = c²
174.25 = c²
13.2 ≈ c
Therefore, the shortest route from Chenoa to Robertsville is about 13.2 miles.
Answer:
Exponential
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Starter:</em>
According to the title:
"Every day, half a bacteria population dies."
Exponential: y = ab^x ( b > 0 , b ≠ 1)
So the answer is C.
<em>Calculations:</em>
An exponential model is of the form y = a • b^t.
If you start with population of 500 million bacteria
t = 0
so 500 million = a • b^0 = a
Since every day half the population dies then in 1 day population will be 250 million
so a = 500 million, y = 250 million and t = 1
250 million = 500 million • b^1
b = 0.5
Therefore your equation would be
y = 500 million (or whatever the pop) • 0.5^t
Where t = number of days
This could also be written in exponential form ( e = 2.73)
It would end up being 1.50 at the end of the day
