Answer:

CD = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangles are congruent, then corresponding sides are congruent, that is

CD = AB , substitute values

3y + 1 = 15 - 4y ( add 4y to both sides )

7y + 1 = 15 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

7y = 14 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = 2

Thus

CD = 3y + 1 = 3(2) + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7

Answer:

At 1pm, the number of bacteria in the dish is 1,000,000

At 12pm, the number of bacteria in the dish is 500,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information on the table

$\left|\begin{array}{c|c}$Hour&$Number of Bacteria (in millions)\\---&--------------\\12 p.m.&\\1 p.m.&\\12 p.m.&\\2 p.m.&\\3 p.m.&\\4 p.m.&\\5 p.m.&32\\6 p.m.&64\end{array}\right|$

We are to follow the pattern to determine how many million bacteria were in the dish at 1 p.m. and 12 p.m.

Now:

$32=2^5\\64=2^6$

It therefore means that the bacteria population doubles every hour. Following this pattern and reducing the exponents by 1 backwards, we have:

$\left|\begin{array}{c|c}$Hour&$Number of Bacteria (in millions)\\---&--------------\\12 p.m.&2^{-1}=0.5\\1 p.m.&2^0=1\\12 p.m.&2^1=2\\2 p.m.&2^2=4\\3 p.m.&2^3=8\\4 p.m.&2^4=16\\5 p.m.&2^5=32\\6 p.m.&2^6=64\end{array}\right|$

Therefore:

At 1pm, the number of bacteria in the dish is 1,000,000
At 12pm, the number of bacteria is 0.5 million=0.5 X 1,000,000=500,000

What is the equation of a line passing through the point (a, b) and having a slope of b?

SVEN [57.7K]

The general form of slope-point form of the equation of line is

y-y1 = m (x-x1)

here, x1, y1 = a,b
m = b

so,
y-b = b(x-a)

thats it!

Which graph best represents the solution to the following pair of equations?

sweet [91]

When they graphically intersect, the two equations are equal and we can say that y=y so:

4x+2=x+5 subtract 2 from both sides

4x=x+3 subtract x from both sides

3x=3 divide both sides by 3

x=1, which makes y=x+5 become:

y=1+5=6, so the solution to the system of equations is the point:

(1,6)

The only graph containing this point is the top one on the first page...

What is the image point of (5,-6)(5,−6) after the transformation r_{\text{y-axis}}\circ T_{-4,0}r

Brums [2.3K]

The image point of P(x,y) = (5, -6) after applying a horizontal reflection is P'(x,y) = (1, -6).

<h3>How to apply a rigid transformation in a point on a Cartesian plane</h3>

In geometry, a rigid transformation is a transformation applied onto a geometric object such that Euclidean distance in every point of it is conserved. Translations are examples of rigid transformations and are defined by this formula:

P'(x,y) = P(x,y) + T(x,y) (1)

Where:

P(x,y) - Original point
T(x,y) - Translation vector
P'(x,y) - Image point

If we know that P(x,y) = (5, -6) and T(x,y) = (-4, 0), then the image point is:

P'(x,y) = (5, -6) + (-4, 0)

P'(x,y) = (1, -6)

The image point of P(x,y) = (5, -6) after applying a horizontal reflection is P'(x,y) = (1, -6). $\blacksquare$

<h3>Remark</h3>

Statement is incorrect and poorly formatted. Correct form is shown below:

What is the image point of (x, y) = (5, -6) after the transformation of translating horizontally the point -4 units to the y-axis?
