<h3>How to determine the
exponential equation?</h3>
An exponential equation is represented as;
y = ab^x
Where
a = y, when x = 0
From the table, we have:
y = 1796 when x = 0
So, we have:
y = 1796b^x
Also, we have the point (1, 2097)
This gives
2097 = 1796b^1
Divide by 1796
b = 1.17
Substitute b = 1.17 in y = 1796b^x
y = 1796(1.17)^x
This means that the exponential equation is y = 1796(1.17)^x
After 15 hours, we have:
y = 1796(1.17)^15
Evaluate
y = 18928
Hence, the number of bacteria present after 15 hours is 18928

Answer:
x=4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
x=smallest side
4x=hypotenuse
4√15=third side
use the Pythagorean Theorem
(4x)^2=x^2+(4√15)^2
16x^2=x^2+240
16x^2-x^2=240
15x^2=240
x^2=240/15
x^2=16
x=√16
x=4 cm is the smallest side
the hypotenuse is 16 cm
the third side is 4√15 cm
