Ocean sunfishes are well-known for rapidly gaining a lot of weight on a diet based on jellyfish. The relationship between the elapsed time, t, in days, since an ocean sunfish is born, and its mass, M(t).
in miligrams, is modeled by the following function:
M(t)
(1.35)
Complete the following sentence about the daily percent change in the mass of the sunfish.
Round your answer to the nearest percent.
Every day, there is a
%
addition to/ removal from
the mass of the sunfish.

δabc ≅ δdcb by sas because

db ≅ ac . . given (side)

bc ≅ bc . . reflexive property (side)

∠dbc ≅ ∠ acb . . alternate interior angles where transversal bc crosses parallel lines bd and ac (included angle)

compare the two slopes in the decimal form. if the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. if the slopes are not equal, then the lines are not parallel.
