Help please. Find x.
1 answer:
You have to use the Geometric Mean for triangles to find x. Our form will look like this: 
which simplifies to 
. Cross multiply to get 
. Therfore, x = 4. Usually when we take the square root of a number we will end up with both the principle (positive) root and the negative one as well. But since the 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length, we will not consider the -4. x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential function is often used to model natural growing or decaying processes, where the change is proportional to the actual quantity.
An exponential decaying function is expressed as:
Where:
C(t) is the actual value of the function at time t
Co is the initial value of C at t=0
r is the decaying rate, expressed in decimal
The concentration of the pollutants starts at Co=5 mg/lt. We also know the pollutant reduces its concentration by 10% each hour. This gives us a value of r = 10% / 100 = 0.1
Substituting into the general equation:
Operating:
