A population culture begins with 20 strands of bacteria and then doubles every 4 hours. This can be modeled by , where t is time in hours. How many strands of bacteria are present at 20 hours?

Question 13 options:


A)


425 strands of bacteria


B)


567 strands of bacteria


C)


640 strands of bacteria


D)


375 strands of bacteria

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C) 640 strands of bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that the population doubles every 4 hours

Hence, formula to solve this question =

P(t) = Po × 2^t/k

From the question, we have the following information:

Beginning amount (Po) = 20 strands of bacteria

Rate(k) = 4 hours

Time(t) = 20 hours

Ending time (P(t)) = unknown

Ending amount = 20 × 2^20/4

= 20 × 2^5

= 20 × 320

= 640 strands of bacteria.

Therefore, the number of strands left after 20 hours is 640 strands of bacteria.

Step 4: Graph

Use the graph showing Phillip's account balance to answer the question that follows. ^

What is the interest rate on Phillip's account?

A - 3.3%

B - 6.7%

C - 9.0%

D - 15.3%

Answers

Answer:

A - 3.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph

Where x= 0

Amount =$ 450

It shows that$450 is the capital

Then

When x= 3

Amount=$494.55

So interest generated within 3 years

= $494.55-$450

=$ 44.55

When x= 9

Amount = $583.65

So interest generated within 9 years

= $583.65-$450

=$ 133.65

PRT/10= Interest

450*x*3/100= 44.55

1350x= 4455

X= 4455/1350

X= 3.3

So the rate is =3.3%

Points A( − 1, 7), B(2, 19), and C(3, y) are on the same line. Find y.

Answers

Answer: y=23

Step-by-step explanation:

If Points and A,B and C lines on the same line then they will have the same slopes so since we have the coordinates of  A and B we will use the to write an equation in slope intercept form.

To write it in slope intercept form we will need to find the slope and the y intercept.

To find the slope you will find the change in the y coordinates and divide it by the change in the x coordinates.

Using the coordinates (-1,7) and (2,19)  the y coordinates are 7 and 19 and the x coordinates are -1 and 2.

Slope :  [tex]\frac{7-19}{-1-2} \frac{-12}{-3} = 4[/tex]   In this case the slope is 4 so we will use that to find the y intercept by using point A coordinate.

  The slope intercept formula says that y=mx +b  where me is the slope and b is the y intercept.

 7=4(-1) + b  

7 = -4 + b

+4   +4

 b= 11       The y intercept is 11.

Now we can write the whole equation as y=4x + 11   .

To answer the question now, where we need to find y , we will plot the x coordinate which is 3 into the equation and solve for y.

 y = 4(3) + 11  

y = 12 + 11

 y = 23

A TV Dinner Company Sells Three Types Of Dinners: A Chicken Dinner For $10, A Beef Dinner For $11, Or A Fish Dinner For $12. At One Particular Grocery Store, They Sold 200 Dinners For A Grand Total Of $2138. Required:a. If they sold three times as many chicken dinners as they did fish, then how many of each kind of dinner did they sell?b. Find the equation of the quadratic function that passes through the points (−1, 9), (2, 6), and (3, 17). Write your answer in the form y = ax2+bx+c.

Answers

Answer:

a) The company sold 93 Chicken dinners, 76 Beef dinners and 31 Fish dinners.

b) [tex]y=3x^{2}-4x+2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

In order to solve part a of the problem, we must start by setting our variables up:

C=# of Chicken dinners

B=# of Beef dinners

F=# of Fish dinners

Next we can use these variables to build our equations. We start by taking the fact that they sold a total of 200 dinners. The sum of all the variables should add up to that so we get:

C+B+F=200

Then the problem tells us the price of each dinner and the total amount of money they made from selling the dinners that day:

"A TV Dinner Company Sells Three Types Of Dinners: A Chicken Dinner For $10, A Beef Dinner For $11, Or A Fish Dinner For $12. For A Grand Total Of $2138"

So we can use this information to build our second equation:

10C+11B+12F=2138

We have two equations now but three variables, so we need an additional equation so we can finish solving this. The problem tells us that:

"they sold three times as many chicken dinners as they did fish"

which translates to:

C=3F

so now we have enough information to finish solving the problem. We can start by substituting the last equation into the previous two equations so we get:

C+B+F=200

3F+B+F=200

4F+B=200

and

10C+11B+12F=2138

10(3F)+11B+12F=2138

30F+11B+12F=2138

42F+11B=2138

So now we can take the two bolded equations and solve them simultaneously. We can solve them by using any method we wish. Let's solve it by substitution.

We start by solving the first equation for B so we get:

B=200-4F

and now we substitute it into the second equation:

42F+11(200-4F)=2138

and now we solve for F

42F+11(200-4F)=2138

42F+2200-44F=2138

-2F=2138-2200

[tex]F=\frac{-62}{-2}[/tex]

F=31

So now that we know the value of F, we can find the values of the rest of the variables so we can take the previous equations to figure this out:

B=200-4F

B=200-4(31)

B=200-124

B=76

and finally:

C=3F

C=3(31)

C=93

So

The company sold 93 Chicken dinners, 76 Beef dinners and 31 Fish dinners.

b) For the second part of the problem we need to build a system of equations to find the equation we are looking for. We were given three points:

(-1,9), (2,6) and (3,17)

so we need to substitute each of the points on the given quadratic equation so we get:

[tex]9=a(-1)^{2}+b(-1)+c[/tex]

eq.1:  [tex]9=a-b+c[/tex]

[tex]6=a(2)^{2}+b(2)+c[/tex]

eq. 2:  [tex]6=4a+2b+c[/tex]

[tex]17=a(3)^{2}+b(3)+c[/tex]

eq. 3:  [tex]17=9a+3b+c[/tex]

So now that we have our three equations we can solve them simultaneously to get the values of a, b and c by using the method you feel more comfortable with. Let's solve it by elimination:

So let's take the first equations and let's subtract them:

[tex]9=a-b+c[/tex]

[tex]-6=-4a-2b-c[/tex]

-------------------------------

3=-3a-3b

And now we repeat the process with the first and third equations:

[tex]9=a-b+c[/tex]

[tex]-17=-9a-3b-c[/tex]

-------------------------------

-8=-8a-4b

So now we have two new equations we can solve simultaneously, but they can be simplified by dividing the first one into -3 and the second one into -4 so they become:

a+b=-1

2a+b=2

We can now solve them by substitution. Let's solve the first one for a and then let's substitute it into the second equation:

a=-1-b

let's substitute

2(-1-b)+b=2

and solve for b

-2-2b+b=2

-b=4

b=-4

Now we can find a:

a=-1-b

a=-1+4

a=3

and now we can find c:

c=9-a+b

c=9-3-4

c=2

So we can use these answers to build our equation:

[tex]y=ax^{2}+bx+c[/tex]

[tex]y=3x^{2}-4x+2[/tex]

Solve this and get 12 points

The value (in dollars) of an airplane depends on the flight hours as given by the formula V= 1,800,000 - 250x . After one year, the value of the plane is between $1,200,000 and $1,300,000. Which range for the flight hours does this correspond to?

a. 1800 <= x <= 2100
b. 2200<= x <= 2500
c. 1500<= x <= 1800
d. 2000<= x <= 2400

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the range we must solve this inequality;

● 1200000<1800000-250x<1300000

Substract 1800000 from both sides.

● 1200000-1800000<1800000-250x<1300000-1800000

● -600000< -250x < -500000

Divide both sides by 250

● -600000/250 < -250x/250 < -500000/250

● -2400 < -x < -2000

Multiply both sides by -1 and switch the signs

● 2000 < x < 2400

The correct option is D. 2000<= x <= 2400

Given, the value of an airplane depends on the flight hours,

[tex]V= 1800000-250x[/tex], here x is the flight hours.

We have to calculate the range of x After one year.

Since, [tex]V= 1800000-250x[/tex]

[tex]250x=1800000-V\\\\x=\dfrac{1800000-V}{250}[/tex]

Since the value of the plane is between $1,200,000 and $1,300,000. So,

[tex]x=\dfrac{1800000-1200000}{250}[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{600000}{250}[/tex]

[tex]x=2400\\[/tex]

When V is 1300000 then x will be,

[tex]x=\dfrac{1800000-1300000}{250} \\[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{500000}{250}[/tex]

[tex]x=2000[/tex]

Hence the range of x will be from 2000 to 2400.

The correct option is D. 2000<= x <= 2400.

Raul and his friends each way 1/20 of a ton are standing on a truck scale . The total weight shown by the scale is 3/4 of a ton . How can I find the total number of people on the scale when Raul and his friends are weighed?

Answers

Answer: There are 15 friends.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there is N friends (N is the number that we are looking for)

Each friend weights 1/20 ton.

Now, the weight of the N friends together is N times 1/20 ton.

Then we have:

N*(1/20) ton = 3/4 ton

We solve this for N.

First multiply both sides by 20.

20*N*(1/20) = N = 20*(3/4) = 60/4 = 15

Answer:

I can find the total number of people by dividing the total weight by the weight of one person.

If they are not congruent, explain why you think so. Be specific in your answer and make sure to show your work.

Answers

Answer: The triangles are not congruent

==========================================

Explanation:

For triangle DEF, the missing angle D is

D+E+F = 180

D+80+60 = 180

D+140 = 180

D = 180-140

D = 40

While the missing angle K in triangle JKL is

J+K+L = 180

80+K+50 = 180

K+130 = 180

K = 180-130

K = 50

---------------------

The three angles for triangle DEF are

D = 40E = 80F = 60

The three angles for triangle JKL are

J = 80K = 50L = 50

We don't have all the angles matching up. We need to have the same three numbers (the order doesn't matter) show up for both triangles in order for the triangles to be congruent. This is because congruent triangles have congruent corresponding angles.

The only pair that matches is E = 80 and J = 80, but everything else is different. So there is no way the triangles are congruent.

Notice how triangle JKL has two congruent base angles (K = 50 and L = 50), so this triangle is isosceles. Triangle DEF is not isosceles as we have three different angles, so this triangle is scalene.

what number has 7 ten thousands, 1 thousand, 1 hundred, and no ones?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]71,100[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are trying to find a number that is written in word form, we can just use place values to find what goes where.

A number is broken down into this:

Ten thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, ones.

If they have 7 ten thousands, the first digit will be a 7.

If they have 1 thousand, the second digit will be a 1.

If they have 1 hundred, the third digit will be a 1.

Since nothing is stated about tens, we assume it's value is 0.

And since there are no ones, it's value is 0.

So:

Twelve dieters lost an average of 13.7 pounds in 6 weeks when given a special diet plus a "fat-blocking" herbal formula. A control group of twelve other dieters were given the same diet, but without the herbal formula, and lost an average of 10.7 pounds during the same time. The standard deviation of the "fat-blocker" sample was 2.6 and the standard deviation of the control group was 2.4. Find the 95% confidence interval for the differences of the means.

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval is   [tex]0.88 < \mu_1 - \mu_2 < 5.12[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  sample mean for fat-blocking [tex]\= x_1 = 13.7[/tex]

     The  sample size  for fat-blocking  [tex]n = 12[/tex]

      The standard deviation for  fat-blocking is [tex]\sigma_1 = 2.6[/tex]

      The  sample mean for control group is  [tex]\= x _2 = 10.7[/tex]

      The  sample size  for control group is [tex]n_2 = 12[/tex]

      The standard deviation for control group is [tex]\sigma _2 = 2.4[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is  95% then the level of significance can me mathematically evaluated as

                 [tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]

                 [tex]\alpha = 5 \%[/tex]

                    [tex]\alpha =0.05[/tex]

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

           [tex]df = n_1 + n_2 - 2[/tex]

substituting values

           [tex]df = 12 +12 - 2[/tex]

           [tex]df = 22[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] at a degree of freedom of  22 form the students t-distribution , the value is  

                [tex]t_{\frac{\alpha }{2}, df } = 2.074[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

            [tex]E = t_{\frac{\alpha }{2}, df } * \sqrt{ \frac{\sigma^2_1 }{n_1 } + \frac{\sigma^2_2 }{n_2 } }[/tex]

substituting values

            [tex]E = 2.07 4 * \sqrt{ \frac{ 2.6^2 }{12 } + \frac{2.4^2 }{12 } }[/tex]

           [tex]E = 2.12[/tex]

the 95% confidence interval for the differences of the means is mathematically represented as

        [tex]\= x_1 - \= x_2 - E < \mu_1 - \mu_2 < \= x_1 - \= x_2 + E[/tex]

substituting values

       [tex]13.7 - 10.7 - 2.12 < \mu_1 - \mu_2 < 13.7 - 10.7 + 2.12[/tex]

      [tex]0.88 < \mu_1 - \mu_2 < 5.12[/tex]

An engineer wishes to determine the width of a particular electronic component. If she knows that the standard deviation is 3.6 mm, how many of these components should she consider to be 90% sure of knowing the mean will be within ± 0.1 ±0.1 mm?

Answers

Answer:

She must consider 3507 components to be 90% sure of knowing the mean will be within ± 0.1 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an engineer wishes to determine the width of a particular electronic component. If she knows that the standard deviation is 3.6 mm.

And she considers to be 90% sure of knowing the mean will be within ±0.1 mm.

As we know that the margin of error is given by the following formula;

The margin of error =  [tex]Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]  

Here, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 3.6 mm

         n = sample size of components

         [tex]\alpha[/tex] = level of significance = 1 - 0.90 = 0.10 or 10%

         [tex]\frac{\alpha}{2} = \frac{0.10}{2}[/tex] = 0.05 or 5%

Now, the critical value of z at a 5% level of significance in the z table is given to us as 1.645.

So, the margin of error =  [tex]Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]  

                  0.1 mm        =  [tex]1.645 \times \frac{3.6}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

                    [tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{3.6\times 1.645}{0.1 }[/tex]

                    [tex]\sqrt{n}[/tex] = 59.22

                     n = [tex]59.22^{2}[/tex] = 3507.0084 ≈ 3507.

Hence, she must consider 3507 components to be 90% sure of knowing the mean will be within ± 0.1 mm.

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning. After 9 hours of burning, a candle has a height of 25.4 centimeters. After 23 hours of burning, its height is 19.8 centimeters. What is the height of the candle after 22 hours?

Answers

Answer:

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of

the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.

After 11 hours of burning, a candle has a height of 23.4 centimeters.

After 30 hours of burning, its height is 12 centimeters.

What is the height of the candle after 13 hours?

:

Assign the given values as follows:

x1 = 11; y1 = 23.4

x2 = 30; y2 = 12

:

Find the slope using: m = %28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29

m = %2812-23.4%29%2F%2830-11%29 = %28-11.4%29%2F19

:

Find the equation using the point/slope formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 23.4 = -11.4%2F19(x - 11)

y - 23.4 = -11.4%2F19x + 125.4%2F19

y = -11.4%2F19x + 125.4%2F19 + 23.4

y = -11.4%2F19x + 125.4%2F19 + 23.4

y = -11.4%2F19x + 125.4%2F19 + 444.6%2F19

y = -11.4%2F19x + 570%2F19

y = -11.4%2F19x + 30, is the equation

:

What is the height of the candle after 13 hours?

x = 13

y = -11.4%2F19(13) + 30

y = -148.2%2F19 + 30

y = -7.8 + 30

y = 22.2 cm after 13 hrs
