Fred placed 3 strands of bacteria in a petri dish. The bacteria strands double every hour. Write a formula to represent how many bacteria strands are present at the nth hour. Then, use the formula to determine how many strands of bacteria are present at 4 hours.

Which is correct:
A. f(n) = 3(2)n; 59 strands of bacteria
B. f(n) = 2(3)n; 82 strands of bacteria
C. f(n) = 3(2)n; 48 strands of bacteria
D. f(n) = 2(3)n; 162 strands of bacteria

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C.[tex]f(n) = 3(2)^n[/tex] ; 48 strands of bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

Fred placed 3 strands of bacteria in a petri dish.

The bacteria strands double every hour.

Formula : y = ab^x

Where a is the initial value

b = growth rate

x = hours

So, A formula to represent how many bacteria strands are present at the nth hour : [tex]f(n)=3(2)^n[/tex]

Now we are supposed to find how many strands of bacteria are present at 4 hours.

Substitute the value in the formula :

[tex]f(4)=3(2)^{4}[/tex]

f(4)=48

Hence 48 strands of bacteria are present at 4 hours.

Answer 2

Answer:

f(n) = 3(2)n; 48 strands of bacteria

Directions: Type your answer in the box below

A cube with an edge length of 8 must be filled completely. How many cubic centimeters will

be needed? Type your answer in the box

The diameter and height of a cylindrical container are shown.

Answers

Answer: You would need 512 cubic centimetres

Step-by-step explanation: The first approach to this question would be to understand the properties of the shape given in the question.

If a cube has an edge with length 8 cm, then all edges measure 8 cm as well. That is one property of a cube. Hence, the length, width and height all measure 8 cm each.

The volume of a cube is given as follows;

V = L x W x H (and the answer is expressed as V³)

Since the length , width and height all measure 8 cm, the volume can simply be expressed as

V = L x L x L

V = L³

V = 8³

V = 512 cm³

Therefore to completely fill a cube with edge length of 8 cm you would need 512 cubic centimetres.

The diagram shows a circle centre O work out the size of angle X work out the size of angle y

Answers

Answer:

x = 116° , y = 20°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are x = 116° & y = 20°

what is the circle theorem?

When two angles are subtended by the same arc, the angle at the centre of a circle is twice the angle at the circumference i.e ∠O=2∠A

let the Points on the circumference be A,B,C then we have two traingles namely ΔABC & ΔOBC.

Given here ∠A=58°

therefore, by the circle theorem we get ∠O=116°

Again in  ΔOBC it is a isosceles triangle with its two sides equal to the radius of the circle, so ∠OBC = ∠OCB

∠OCB +∠OBC+∠BOC=180°

2 ∠OBC=180°-116°

2 ∠OBC=64°

∠OBC=32°

Again, in  ΔABC ∠C = 32° + 38° = 70°  & ∠B= y +32°

therefore, y + 32° + 70° + 58° = 180°

                                             y= 20°

Hence, the angles are  x = 116° & y = 20°

b) A fruit seller bought some mangoes for Rs 500. He sold them at 10% loss. If he wants to make a profit of 12.5% without increasing the selling price, by how much should the cost price of the mangoes be reduced?​

Answers

Answer:

New CP = Rs 387.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost Price = Rs. 500

Loss %age = 10% of 500

So, Loss = Rs 50

Finding the selling price:

Selling Price = CP - Loss

SP = 500 - 50

SP = Rs 450

Now, The fruit seller wants to gain a profit of 12.5% without changing the selling Price:

Firstly, Let's talk about the Profit :

Profit %age = 12.5% of 500

Profit = 12.5 * 5

Profit = Rs 62.5

He wants to gain a profit of Rs 62.5

So, The cost Price

The cost price would be reduced by Rs 62.5

New CP = 450 - 62.5

New CP = Rs 387.5

Answers

Answer:

123.5 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: To find the area of a rectangle, you have to multiply base times height.

To find the area of a triangle, you have to do base times height devided by 2.

Finding the area: Let's break up this shape into polygons. At the bottom there is a rectangle. We know that to find the area of the rectangle you have to do base times height. 13in•7in will give you 91in square for the rectangle.

Now for the triangle. If you can see, if you break the triangle in half, there are 2 right triangles. Let's look at the right one for now. Since we know that to find the area of a triangle you have to do base times height divided by 2,  you do 5in•6.5in=32.5in. 32.5in divided by 2 is 16.25in square which is the area of one triangle. You might be wondering why i did 5•6.5, and that's because at the bottom of the rectangle you can see it's 13in, and 13in÷2=6.5in.

We already found the area of the rectangle and one triangle. The other triangle is equal to it so we can just do 16.25+16.25=32.5in square for both of the triangles.

Now we add it all up: 32.5+91=123.5 square inches

Bob and Sally's mortgage payment increases to $1632.00. Their roof starts to leak and they need to replace it. They budget $500 per month (replace the old student loan charge with roof expense).

Answers

Answer:

List of expenses is attached below.

Total Income = $160 + $6245 = $6405

1) Do Bob and Sally have a surplus or deficit?

As mortgage payment has increased, we replace $1580 with $1632 in the table

Replace student loans with roof expense, we replace $544 with $500 in the table.

Find Total Expenses by adding all the values from the table.

Total Expenses = $6660.17

Total Income  =$6405

They have a deficit

2) By how much?

Deficit = $6660.17 - $6405 = $255.17

Deficit = $255.17

3) They decide to stop putting money in savings. How much their balance be?

Savings = 10% of income = 10% OF $6405

Savings = (10/100)· $6405 = $640.5

New total expenses = $6660.17 - $640.5

New total expenses = $6019.67

Balance = Total income - New total expenses = $6405 - $6019.67

Balance = $295.33

4) Do you agree with them removing the savings to create surplus?

Yes, they had to remove the savings to fulfill their expenditures. Otherwise, they would have been spending more than their income, which couldn't last very long

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = [tex]\frac{6x-7}{3x-8}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 3x - 8 )

y(3x - 8) = 6x - 7 ← distribute left side

3xy - 8y = 6x - 7 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

3xy - 6x - 8y = - 7 ( add 8y to both sides )

3xy - 6x = 8y - 7 ← factor out x from each term on the left

x(3y - 6) = 8y - 7 ← divide both sides by (3y - 6)

x = [tex]\frac{8y-7}{3y-6}[/tex]

Given: Isosceles triangle ABC with vertex angle A, equal sides AB and AC, and an angle bisector, BD.

side = 1
angle = 36

BC has a length of 1. To the nearest tenth of a unit, find the lengths of the missing sides.

BD = __ units

AD = __ units

AB = __ units

AC = __ units


Answers

Answer:

BD = 1 unit

AD = 1 unit

AB = 1.6 units

AC = 1.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture attached, the triangle ABC is shown.

Given that triangle ABC is isosceles, then ∠B = ∠C

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

36° + 2∠B = 180°

∠B = (180° - 36°)/2

∠B = ∠C  = 72°

From Law of Sines:

sin(∠A)/BC = sin(∠B)/AC = sin(∠C)/AB

(Remember that BC is 1 unit long)

AB = AC = sin(72°)/sin(36°) = 1.6

In triangle ABD, ∠B = 72°/2 = 36°, then:

∠A + ∠B + ∠D = 180°

36° + 36° + ∠D = 180°

∠D =  180° - 36° - 36° = 108°

From Law of Sines:

sin(∠A)/BD = sin(∠B)/AD = sin(∠D)/AB

(now ∠A = ∠B)

BD = AD = sin(∠A)*AB/sin(∠D)

BD = AD = sin(36°)*1.6/sin(108°) = 1

2. It helps us understand how organisms grow.

3. It is important for cancer research.

4. All options correct.

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

h = -16t^2 + 120t + 10

To find the  height and time for maximum we convert to vertex form:

h = -16(t^2 - 7.5t) + 10

h = -16 [(t - 3.75)^2 - 14.0625] + 10

h = -16(t - 3.75)^2 + 225 + 10

h = -16(t - 3.75)^2 + 235

So the time to reach maximum height is 3.75 seconds and the maximum height = 235 ft.
