For a research study, the tails of 33
33 rats were painted blue and then these rats were set free. Later, the researchers caught
80
80 rats,
24
24 of which had a blue tail. To the nearest whole number, what is the best estimate for the rat population?

a

step-by-step explanation:

whole number data type

step-by-step explanation:

as whole number type represents whole number

like 1, 2 ,3, 4

in other words the whole numbers are those numbers which cannot be written infraction.

since we can take days as a whole number i.e 1 day 2 day and we cannot write 1.2 day hence we will use whole number data type

x^2 + 81

we can factor this using difference of square binomials.

rewrite the equation:

x^2 - (-81)

factor:

(a^2 - b^2) = (√a^2 + √b^2)(√a^2 - √b^2)

(x^2 - (-81) = (x + √-81)(x - √-81)

we can remove the - from under the radical by multiplying it by i.

(x^2 - (-81) = (x + i√81)(x - i√81)

(x^2 - (-81) = (x + 9i)(x - 9i)

we can check our answer by using foil:

x^2 - 9ix + 9ix - 81i^2

x^2 - 81^2

i^2 = -1

x^2 + 81
