3) Sandra adds a toxic substance to a sample of 500 bacteria in a petri dish. The sample has a half-life of one minute. The situation can be modeled by an exponential decay function. State the function and sketch the
graph. (Hint: y = a. b* and use a table to help graph)

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

step-by-step explanation:

let pq = qr = rs = x, and xz = y and zu = z.

if the horizontal lines are parallel, then corresponding segments are in proportion:

substitute:

therefore 3 = y = z.

xu = y + z → xu = 3 + 3 = 6

the answer is c.) yes, [triangle]klp can be reflected across the line containing [line]kp and then translated so that p is mapped to m.

the reason is this:

looking at the triangles visually we can see they share the same features. using rigid transfromations we can reflect it over [line]kp then all we need to do is translate up.
