Answer:

it will take about 7.5 hours to increase from 20 to 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

y(t) = a e^kt

20 = a e^ kt1

2000 = a e^ kt2

divide these equations

2000/20 = a e^ kt2/ a e^ kt1

when dividing the exponents subtract

100 =a/a e^(kt2-kt1)

factor out the k

100 = e ^ k(t2-t1)

take the natural log on each side

ln(100) = ln (e^ k(t2-t1)

ln (100) = k(t2-t1)

divide by k

ln(100)/k = (t2-t1)

we know k=.614

ln(100)/.614 = t2-t1

7.500277 = t2-t1

it will take about 7.5 hours to increase from 20 to 2000

What is the solution to 3/4b=8

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

$b=\frac{32}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{4}b=8$

Multiply both sides by 4:

$4\times \frac{3}{4}b=8\times4$

$3b=32$

Divide both sides by 3:

$\frac{3b}{3}=\frac{32}{3}$

$b=\frac{32}{3}$

9. If f(x)=-2x^2+4x-6, then f(2)=

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

f(2) = -6

General Formulas and Concepts:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Substitution and Evaluation

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = -2x² + 4x - 6

f(2) is x = 2

Step 2: Solve

Substitute: f(2) = -2(2)² + 4(2) - 6
Exponents: f(2) = -2(4) + 4(2) - 6
Multiply: f(2) = -8 + 8 - 6
Add: f(2) = -6

Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form that is perpendicular to the line 2x -3y = 12 and passes through the point (

Scilla [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -3/2x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, start by finding the slope of the original line. You can do this by solving for y.

2x - 3y = 12

-3y = -2x + 12

y = 2/3x - 4

Now that we have a slope of 2/3, we know that the perpendicular slope is -3/2 (since perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes). We can use this and the new point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 6 = -3/2(x - 2)

y - 6 = -3/2x + 3

y = -3/2x + 9
