[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
- a is a leg
- b is another leg
- c is the hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Identify</u>
<em>a</em> = x + 3
<em>b</em> = x
<em>c</em> = √117
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute [PT]: (x + 3)² + x² = (√117)²
- Expand [FOIL]: x² + 6x + 9 + x² = (√117)²
- Combine like terms: 2x² + 6x + 9 = (√117)²
- Exponents: 2x² + 6x + 9 = 117
- [SPE] Subtract 117 on both sides: 2x² + 6x - 108 = 0
- Factor out GCF: 2(x² + 3x - 54) = 0
- [DPE] Divide 2 on both sides: x² + 3x - 54 = 0
- Factor Quadratic: (x - 6)(x + 9) = 0
- Solve roots/solve <em>x</em>: x = -9, 6
Since we are dealing with positive values, we can disregard the negative root.
∴ x = 6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I really hope you know how to use your calculator to find regression equations, because in this forum it is impossible to teach you how to do that. I ran the data through my calculator and got the exponential equation as
which means at 4 hours, we started with 1963 bacteria and it is growing at a rate of 114% each hour. Since we started out with an x value of 0, and that value represents the number of bacteria after 4 hours, then time 0 is 4 hours, which means that time 12 is 16 hours. We replace the x in the equation with a 12 and do the math:
which gives us, in the end,
y = 9460
