Well, this problem is best solved by setting up a system of two linear equations.
A linear equation can be defined
y=mx+b
where
b=initial value (when x=0), and
m=rate of increase or decrease.
In the given example, the x-axis represents hour, and the y-axis, number of cells.
Chemical #1
initial value = b = 12000 cells
rate = m = -4000 / hr
The equation is therefore
y1=-4000x+12000......................(1)
Similarly, for chemical #2
initial value = b = 6000 cells
rate = m = -3000 / hr
The equation is therefore
y2=-3000x+6000 .......................(2)
The time the two will have an equal sized colony would represent the solution of the system of equations (1) and (2), i.e. when y1=y2
which means
-4000x+12000 = -3000x+6000
transpose and solve for x
4000x-3000x = 12000-6000
1000x=6000
x=6 hours.
At 6 hours from the start,
y=-4000x+12000 = -4000*6+12000 = -24000+12000 = -12000 cells
So the solution is x=6, y=-12000, or (6,-12000)
Physical interpretation
Since cells cannot have a negative number, the two are actually equal before six hours, when they are both zero.
Case 1: y=0 when x=3
Case 2: y=0 when x=2
Therefore, after three hours, both trials will have zero cells.
You have to judge whether to give the mathematical solution (x=6,y=-12000) or the physical interpretation (x=3, y=0) as the answer.
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram is right angle triangle so we can use SOHCAHTOA
So in the diagram we have 62 degree opposite to x and the hypotenuse
Step 1
Sin62=x/16
Step 2
X=16sin62 by cross multiplication
Step 3
X=14.13
X=14
Answer: V=37.5 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula
V=(πr²h)/3
Given
r=5/2=2.5 cm
h=6 cm
Solve
V=(πr²h)/3
V=(π(2.5)²(6))/3
V=(π(6.25)(6))/3
V=37.5π/3
V=37.5(3)/3
V=37.5 cm³

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The parent function of this graph is: y = sin(x)
The sine function is periodic, meaning it repeats forever.
Standard form of a sine function:

- A = amplitude (height from the mid-line to the peak)
- 2π/B = period (horizontal distance between consecutive peaks)
- C = phase shift (horizontal shift - positive is to the left)
- D = vertical shift
The parent function y = sin(x) has the following:
- Amplitude (A) = 1
- Period = 2π
- Phase shift (C) = 0
- Vertical shift (D) = 0
- Mid-line: y = 0
From inspection of the given graph:
- Amplitude (A) = 1

- Phase shift (C) = 0
- Vertical shift (D) = +3 (as mid-line is y = 3)

Substituting the values into the standard form:


Therefore, the equation of the given trigonometric graph is:

Answer:
g(x) - f(x) = -14x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to subtract the function f(x) = 9x + 4 from the function g(x) = -5 + 1. Rewriting these two functions in columns, we get
g(x)= -5x+1
- f(x) = -(9x+4) Note: Use parentheses as shown here.
--------------------
g(x) - f(x) = -14x - 3
