Atype of plant is introduced into an ecosystem and quickly begins to take over. a scientist counts the number of plants after mmonths and develops the equation p(m)= 19.3(1.089)^m to model the situation. most recently, the scientist counted 138 plants. assuming there are no limiting factors to the growth of the plants, about how many months have passed since the plants werefirst introduced? a)o 6.1b)0.6.6c)10 72d)o 23.1

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3

you,

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct

i think it is d. hope this
