Answer:

2,48,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial population of bacteria = 15,500

Bacteria doubles after every 234 hours

So, after 0 (zero) hours, no of bacteria = 15,500

After 234 hours, no. of bacteria = 2(15,500) = 31,000

After 468 hours, no. of bacteria = 2(31,000) = 62,000 (2*234 = 468)

After 702 hours, no. of bacteria = 2(62,000) = 124,000 (3*234 = 702)

After 936 hours, no. of bacteria = 2(124000) = 2,48,000 (4*234 = 936)

What is the answer to 5t-26=18t

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

t = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

5t - 26 = 18t

Add 26 to both sides:

5t - 26 + 26 = 18t + 26

Simplify:

5t = 18t + 26

Subtract 18t from both sides:

5t - 18t = 18t + 26 - 18t

Simplify:

-13t = 26

Divide both sides by -13:

-13t/-13 = 26/-13

Therefore:

t = -2

Help pls look at the picture

Alika [10]

Answer:

Option A: $-\frac{4}{3}$ is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Slope of the line = $\frac{3}{4}$

Let,

m be the slope of the line perpendicular to the line with slope $\frac{3}{4}$

We know that,

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is equals to -1.

Therefore,

$\frac{3}{4}.m=-1\\$

Multiplying both sides by $\frac{4}{3}$

$\frac{4}{3}*\frac{3}{4}m=-1*\frac{4}{3}\\$

m = $-\frac{4}{3}$

$-\frac{4}{3}$ is the slope of the line perpendicular to the line having slope $\frac{3}{4}$

Hence,

Option A: $-\frac{4}{3}$ is the correct answer.

3. Find two possible lengths for CD if C, D, and E

Kaylis [27]

Given :

C, D, and E are col-linear, CE = 15.8 centimetres, and DE= 3.5 centimetres.

To Find :

Two possible lengths for CD.

Solution :

Their are two cases :

When D is in between C and E .

. . .

C D E

Here, CD = CE - DE

CD = 15.8 - 3.5 cm

CD = 12.3 cm

When E is in between D and C.

. . .

D E C

Here, CD = CE + DE

CD = 15.8 + 3.5 cm

CD = 19.3 cm

Hence, this is the required solution.
