Alex is practicing his dives at a pool. He dies from the diving board that is 15 feet above the surface of water. His dive takes

him 15 feet below the surface of water. Alex says that the two distances are opposites, so his total dive distance is 15+ -15 equals 0 feet. Are the two distances opposite? Is Alex his total dive distance correct? Explain your reasoning

Answer:

Alex is wrong in calculating his dive distance Actual Dive distance is 30 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance from where he dive from = 15 feet

Distance he reached after dive = 15 feet

Also Given:

Alex says that the two distances are opposites,

Also Total distance of dive according to Alex = 15 +-15 =0 feet

Solution:

We know that the diving board is 15 feet above the water level, but here it is important to know that even he is above the surface of the water he is diving in the water and then he reached 15 deep in the water.

From above scenario we can say that the two distances are in the same direction.

Total Distance of dive will be = 15 +15 =30 feet.

Hence We can say that Alex is wrong in calculating his dive distance Actual Dive distance is 30 feet.

lora16 [44]
In other words, you know that 50 percent of a number is 34 and you want to know what that initial number is.

To solve this problem you multiply 34 by 100 and then divide the total by 50 as follows:

(34 x 100) / 50

When we put that into our calculator, we get the following answer:

Anton [14]

A right rectangular pyramid when sliced vertically, the  shape of the cross-section is known as Triangle.

<h3>What is A triangle?</h3>

This is known to be a kind of shape that is said to be in  a closed form and it is also known to be a 2-dimensional shape that has 3 sides, 3 angles, and also 3 vertices.

Note that when the when the right rectangular pyramid is sliced vertically (down) by a plane passing through the  of the pyramid, the new shape of the cross-section is a triangle.

A bacteria culture contains 1500 bacteria initially and doubles every hour. (a) Find a function N that models the number of bact
Tpy6a [65]

Answer: a) N(t)=1500(2)^t

b) 25165824000

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation for growth is given by :-

y= ab^t , where a= initial value , b =multiplicative growth factor and t = time.

Given : A bacteria culture contains 1500 bacteria initially and doubles every hour.

i.e. a = 1500 and b= 2

Then, the function N that models the number of bacteria after t hours will be :

N(t)=1500(2)^t

To find , the number of bacteria after 24 hours , we put t= 24 in above equation , we get

N(24)=1500(2)^{24}\\\\=1500(16777216)=25165824000

Hence, the number of bacteria after 24 hours is 25165824000.
