In a parenting magazine, Mrs. Smith read an advertisement about all the different ways that bleach can be used to kill bacteria. The advertisement claimed that some forms of bacteria triple in amount after each hour. Consider the situation where one bacterium is found on Mrs. Smith's countertop at home.

Answer 1

Question:

(a) How many bacteria would be found in 24 hours

(b) How many bacteria would be found in 2 days

Answer:

(a) 282429536481 bacteria

(b) [tex]7.97*10^{22[/tex] bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

The question illustrates an exponential function

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

Where

[tex]a = Initial\ Value = 1[/tex]

[tex]b=Rate = 3[/tex] --- i.e. triples

[tex]x = number\ of\ hours[/tex]

Solving (a): Bacteria in 24 hours

In this case:

[tex]x = 24[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x = 24[/tex], [tex]b = 3[/tex] and [tex]a = 1[/tex]

So:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

[tex]y = 1 * 3^{24[/tex]

[tex]y = 1 * 282429536481[/tex]

[tex]y = 282429536481[/tex] bacteria

Solving (b): Bacteria in 2 days

[tex]2\ days =48\ hours[/tex]

So:

[tex]x = 48[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x = 48[/tex], [tex]b = 3[/tex] and [tex]a = 1[/tex]

So:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

[tex]y = 1 * 3^{48[/tex]

[tex]y =7.97*10^{22[/tex] bacteria

Solving (c): How long for 1000 bacteria

In this case:

[tex]y = 1000[/tex]

Substitute [tex]y = 1000[/tex], [tex]b = 3[/tex] and [tex]a = 1[/tex]

So:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

[tex]1000 = 1 *3^x[/tex]

[tex]1000 = 3^x[/tex]

Take Log of both sides

[tex]Log1000 = Log3^x[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]Log1000 = xLog3[/tex]

Make x the subject

[tex]x = \frac{Log1000}{Log3}[/tex]

[tex]x \approx 6[/tex]

Hence: It takes 6 days

The perimeter of a rectangle is 26 inches. If the length of the rectangle is 6 inches, find the width.

Answers

Answer:

7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x ( length + breadth)

26 = 2 x (6 + breadth)

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

26/2 = 6 + width

13 = 6 + width

Collect like terms

13 - 6 = width

width = 7 inches

A fair con is tossed 80 times in an experiment. If the coin is fair, what would be a reasonable number of times tails should appear
based on your knowledge of the theoretical probability of this event?

Answers

Answer: 40 would be a reasonable number of times tails should appear if the coin is fair. Fair means 50/50 chance.

So, divide 80 by 2. 80/2 = 40.

What is the slope of points (2,-15) and (-3,10).

Answers

Answer:

m = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe you are asking, "What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2, -15) and (-3, 10)?"

As we go from (-3, 10) to (2, -15), x (the horizontal leg of a right triangle) increases by 5 (this is the 'run'), and y (the vertical leg) increases by 25 (the 'rise'). Thus, the slope of this line is

m = rise / run = 25/5, or just 5. m = 5

Find the area in the pic please!!

Answers

Answer:

Area = 970 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape is composed of a square and a triangle.

Therefore:

Area of the shape = area of square + area of triangle

✔️Area of square = s²

s = 20 ft

Area = 20²

Area of square = 400 ft²

✔️Area of triangle = ½*b*h

b = 20 + 9 + 9 = 38 ft

h = 30 ft

Area of triangle = ½*38*30 = 570 ft²

✅Area of the shape = 400 + 570 = 970 ft²
