Cindy did an experiment. She started out with 600 bacteria cells. She found that the growth rate of the bacteria cells was 4.1%. Create an equation for the situation that would work for any time, x. Pls Help thx

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: P(t) = 600*(1.041)^t.

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential growth can be written as:

P(t) = A*(1 + r)^t

Where:

A =  initial population = 600

r = rate of growth in decimals = 4.1%/100% = 0.041.

t = number of units of time.

Now we have a problem, we know that the growth rate is 4.1 %, but we do not know in which time units are we working.

Because is not the same if the bacteria grows a 4.1% in one day, than if the bacteria grows a 4.1% in a hour.

But that does not matter for the actual equation, because we can just define "t" as the time (like the question asks) and the equation will be:

P(t) = 600*(1 + 0.041)^t

P(t) = 600*(1.041)^t.

Whats the total area of a covered box with a length of 4 ft, a width of 3 ft, and a height of 6 ft

Answers

The total area of the covered box is 108 square feet.

We have the specifications of the box -

length (L) = 4 ft

width (B) = 3 ft

height (H) = 6 ft

We have to find the total area of the box.

What is the formula to calculate the total surface area of a cuboid ?

The total surface area will be -

A = 2(LB + BH + LH)

Using the formula above, we get -

A = 2(4 x 3 + 3 x 6 + 4 x 6)

A = 2(12 + 18 + 24)

A = 2 x 54

A = 108 square feet

Hence, the total area of the covered box is 108 square feet.

Volume is "L x W x H". (Length x Width x Height)

The top and bottom will be 4 x 3 = 12 sq ft.

2 sides each 4 x 6 = 24 x 2 = 48 sq ft.

2 sides each 3 x 6 = 18 x 2 = 36 sq ft.

Area = 24 + 36 + 48 sq ft = 108 sq ft. 

140% of what number is 14?

Answers

140% of  19.6 is  14  and  you are very welcome
140% of what number is 14
140%  ×     number      = 14
(140% = (140)/(100) = 1.4)
1.4      ×           n           = 14
Divide by 1.4 to isolate n
(1.4n)/(1.4)(14)/(1.4)
1.4 and 1.4 cancels out
n = 10

140% of 10 is 14

Check:
(140)/(100) × 10 = 14
1.4 × 10 = 14
14 = 14

A bird catches a fish and flies 100 yards in a straight line at an angle of elevation x degrees from the ground. After flying for 100 yards the bird drops the fish. The fish lands at a spot y yards horizontally from where the bird caught it. What is x?A.)cos -1 y/100

B.)sin -1 y/100

c.)tan -1 y/100

D.)cos -1 100/y

E.)sin -1 100/y

Answers

Answer:  Hello there! The correct answer is A.

If the bird flies 100 yards with an angle of elevation of x from the ground, then you could think this as a tringle rectangle, where the hypotenuse is 100 yards, the opposite cathetus is sin(x)*100 and this represents the height at which the bird dropped the fish, not really useful here.

The adjacent cathetus us 100*cos(x), in this case, you are calculating the displacement adjacent to them (because the angle is with respect to the ground) and knowing that the fish lands in a translated y yards horizontally we could write: y = cos(x)*100

now we want to isolate x:

y/100 = cos(x)

arcos(y/100) = arcos(cos(x)) = x

x = arcos(y/100) (or cos-1(y/100) like in the option A)

then, knowing the value of y, we could obtain the angle x with that equation.

The angle of elevation can be solved using B.)sin -1 y/100, which makes use of trigonometric functions.

Which fraction converts to a terminating decimal number?a.) 1/6
b.) 2/9
c.) 3/8
d.) 4/7

Answers

Answer:  The correct option is (C) (3)/(8).

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to select the fraction that converts to a terminating decimal number.

(a) The first fraction is (1)/(6).

We have

(1)/(6)=0.16666...

Since this decimal is non-terminating, so this option is NOT correct.

(b) The second fraction is (2)/(9).

We have

(2)/(9)=0.2222...

Since this fraction is non-terminating, so this option is NOT correct.

(c) The second fraction is(3)/(8).

We have

(2)/(9)=0.375.

Since this fraction is terminating, so this option is CORRECT.

(d) The second fraction is (4)/(7).

We have

(4)/(7)=0.5714...

Since this fraction is non-terminating, so this option is NOT correct.

Thus, option (C) is CORRECT.

terminating decimal...a decimal that ends
1/6 = 1.66 (with a line over the 66 because it does not end)
2/9 = 0.22 (with a line over the 22 because it does not end)
3/8 = 0.375
4/7 = 0.571428 (with a line over 571428 because it does not end)

so ur answer is : 3/8
