A population of bacteria contains 150 bacteria in generation 1 and triples in
population every generation. This sequence represents the number of
bacteria for the first few generations:
150, 450,1350, ...
What is the explicit formula for the number of bacteria in generation n?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: bn= 150*3^(n-1)( bn is a quantity of bacteria in generation n)

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like geometrical sequence, each next generation is three times greater than previous one. So the r of this sequence is 3.

The first generation has 150 representatives, so b1=150

The formula of geometrical sequence is bn=b1*r^(n-1)

(in our case bn is a quantity of bacteria in generation n)

so bn= 150*3^(n-1)( bn is a quantity of bacteria in generation n)

Point W is on line segment V X. Given VX = 18 and VW = 14 determine the length W X

Answers

Answer: WX = 4

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of segment addition postulate.

The Segment Addition Postulate states that given 2 points A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation AB + BC = AC.

Solve:

Given information

VX = 18

VW = 14

Given expression deducted from the segment addition postulate

WX = VX - VW

Substitute values into the expression

WX = 18 - 14

Simplify by subtraction

WX = 4

PLEASE HELP COMPARING RATIOS

Answers

Answer:

8 minutes per customer in Restaurant One.

6 minutes per customer in Restaurant Two.

7 minutes per customer in Restaurant Three.

Restaurant Two had the fastest service.

Method:

I divided the time it took – for example – 48 divided by 6. I would do this because I wanted to find out each person took (6 people), and the amount of time it took for each person to get their food. I would use division for this problem because I am finding how much each person took out of the whole time.

Answer

The 2nd restaurant is the fastest

Step-by-step explanation:

I. Compare Time per Customers

     When 1st restuarant = 48/6 = 9

                2nd restuarant = 42/7 = 6

                3rd restuarant = 63/9 = 7

Given if in 1 min, I can serve 20 customers = 1/20 = 0.05

             in 1 min, He can serve 10 customers = 1/10 = 0.1

      See the different? I can serve better than him.

So The answer is the 2nd restuarant.

Bacteria of species A and species B are kept in a single environment, where they are fed two nutrients. Each day the environment is supplied with 19,660 units of the first nutrient and 31,890 units of the second nutrient. Each bacterium of species A requires 4 units of the first nutrient and 5 units of the second, and each bacterium of species B requires 1 unit of the first nutrient and 6 units of the second. What populations of each species can coexist in the environment so that all the nutrients are consumed each day?

Answers

Answer:

4570 species of the type A and 1540 species of the type B.

Step-by-step explanation:

A:

1st: 4 units

2nd: 5 units

B:

1st: 1 unit

2nd: 6 units

A=x, B=y

4x + 1y = 19820  units of the first nutrient

5x + 6y = 32090  units of the second nutrient

5x + 6*(19820-4x) = 32090.

       32090 - 6(19820-4x)

x= ------------------------------------- = 4570

                     5-24

y = 19820 - 4*4570 = 19820 - 18280 = 1540.

ANSWER:  4570 species of the type A and 1540 species of the type B.

Hopes this solves it.

The populations of each species can coexist in the environment so that all the nutrients are consumed each day are 4530 and 10600

What are simultaneous equation?

In mathematics, a set of simultaneous equations, also known as a system of equations or an equation system, is a finite set of equations for which common solutions are sought.

Given;

Each day the environment is supplied with 19,660 units of the first nutrient and 31,890 units of the second nutrient

2 Nutrient Requirements of both species of Bacteria A and B , Total Nutrients available

Now,

Let the number of bacteria of Specie A and Specie B be x and y respectively;

To find : Number of Bacteria 1 and Bacteria 2

Nutrient 1 Constraint Equation : 4x + y = 19660

Nutrient 2 Constraint Equation : 5x + 6y = 31890

Putting the value of y from 1st equation in 2nd equation;

5x + 6 (19660 - 4x) = 31890

5x + 117960 - 24x = 31890

117960 - 31890 = 19x

19x = 86070

x = 86070 / 19 = 4530 { Bacteria A}

Putting the value of x in 1st equation;

2 (4530) + y = 19660

9060 + y = 19660

y = 19660 - 9060= 10600{Bacteria B}

Therefore, the solution of equations will be 4530 and 10600

Alex had $29 in a bank account. He withdrew $13 for pizza and then $18 for a movie. How much money does Alex have left in his account?

Answers

Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

18 plus 13 is 41 29 subtracted from 41 is -12

Answer:

- $2

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex withdrew money twice, or he subtracted those amounts from the total that he had.

In this case, he withdrew $13 first, and then $18, or:

13 + 18 = 31

$31 dollars in all.

Alex had $29. Subtract the total that he withdrew from the amount he had:

29 - 31 = -2

Alex has - $2, or he owes the bank $2 with interest.

Answers

Answer: First Choice. 5ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we need to know the idea of the Pythagorean theorem.

Since a building is straight, the base angle is a right angle, thus it would be a right triangle.

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

**NOTE** Please refer to the attachment below for the figure. (I drew it, so if it was not clear and understandable for you, please tell me.)

Solve:

Given information

a = 12 ft

c = 13 ft

b = unknow base length

Given formula for Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

Substitute values into the formula

12² + b² = 13²

Simplify exponents

144 + b² = 169

Subtract 144 on both sides

144 + b² - 144= 169 - 144

b² = 25

Square root both sides

√b² = √25

Sin A 4/5.

Find
COSA + tan A

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite side (the one not connected to A) = 4

The hypotenuse is 5

The adjacent side needs to be found for the cosine and the tangent.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = opposite side = 4

b = adjacent side = ?

c = hypotenuse = 5

4^2 + x^2 = 5^2

16 + x^2 = 25          

x^2 = 25 - 16

x^2 = 9

x = sqrt(9)

x = 3

cos(A) = adjacent / hypotenuse = 3/5

Tan(A) = opposite / adjacent = 4/3

cos(A) + tan(A) = 3/5 + 4/3

cos(A) + tan(A) = 9/15 + 20/15 = 29/15

Given: SinA = 4/5

To find: CosA + TanA

Solution:
16/25 + Cos²A = 1 [Sin²A + Cos²A = 1]
Cos²A = 1 - 16/25
Cos²A = 25 - 16/25
Cos²A = 9/25
CosA = 3/5
We know that TanA = SinA/CosA
TanA = (4/5)/(3/5)
TanA = 4/3
CosA + TanA = 3/5 + 4/3 = 29/15

Q: Nitrates are organic compounds that are a main ingredient in fertilizers. When those fertilizers run off
into streams, the nitrates can have a toxic effect on
fish. An ecologist studying nitrate pollution in two
streams measures nitrate concentrations at 42 places on Stony Brook and 42 places on Mill Brook. The parallel dotplots display the data.


1. Explain what the dot above 12 in the Stony Brook graph represents.


Answers

By looking at the dot graph, we can see that the single dot above 12 in the Stony Brook graph, means that the ecologist find that in one of the 42 places measured in the Stony Brooks lake, the nitrate concentration was 12 mg/L

To understand this, first I want to give a brief explanation of how these graphs work.

You know that the ecologist did study the Nitrate pollution at 42 places in two lakes.

Each of these 42 places is represented with a dot in the corresponding graph.  Now looking at the graph, the position of the dots represents the nitrate concentration (you can see it in the horizontal axis) on one of these 42 places (42 dots for 42 places).

So, having a single dot above 12 in the Stony Brook graph, means that the ecologist find that in one of the 42 places measured in the Stony Brooks lake, the nitrate concentration was of 12 mg/L
