The position of a diving bell is −3/4 mile relative to sea level. The diving bell reached this position after dropping from sea

level at a constant rate for 1 1/2 hours. What was the position of the diving bell relative to sea level 1 hour after it began its descent? Enter your answer in the box.

<span>After 1 hour, the diving bell was -1/2 mile relative to sea level. Since the rate of decent is constant, we can use two ratios to represent the depth at 2 different times. To make things easier to write, I'll use decimals to represent time and depth. -.75 / 1.5 = x / 1 Now solve for x -0.5 = x So after 1 hour, the diving bell was -1/2 mile relative to sea level.</span>

Find the length of side a.
kow [346]

Answer:

C. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Keeping in mind that this is a right triangle, to find the length of side a, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

Remember, the Pythagorean Theorem is:

a² + b² = c²

where a and b are the legs of the right triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

As we can see in the image, a is one of the two legs of the right triangle. 13 is the hypotenuse and 12 is another leg. Plugging into the Pythagorean Theorem, we get:

a² + 12² = 13²

Now we solve for a.

a² + 144 = 169

Subtract 144 from both sides.

a² = 169 - 144

a² = 25

Take the square root of both sides.

a = √25

a = 5

So the length of side a would be 5.

The answer would be C. 5.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.

Bt= 8500 *(8/27)^t/3After a special medicine is introduced into a Petri dish full of bacteria, the number of bacteria remaining
ozzi

Answer:

Every 1.71 seconds, the bacteria loses \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

B(t) = 8500 * (\frac{8}{27})^\frac{t}{3}\\

Required [Missing from the question]

Every __ seconds, the bacteria loses \frac{1}{2}

First, we model the function from t/3 to t.

B(t) = 8500 * (\frac{8}{27})^\frac{t}{3}\\

Apply law of indices

B(t) = 8500 * (\frac{8^\frac{1}{3}}{27^\frac{1}{3}})^t

Evaluate each exponent

B(t) = 8500 * (\frac{2}{3})^t --- This gives the number of bacteria at time t

At time 0, we have:

B(0) = 8500 * (\frac{2}{3})^0

B(0) = 8500 * 1

B(0) = 8500

Let r be the time 1/2 disappears.

When 1/2 disappears, we have:

B(r) = \frac{B(0)}{2}

B(r) = \frac{8500}{2}

B(r) = 4250

So, we have:

B(t) = 8500 * (\frac{2}{3})^t

Substitute r for t

B(r) = 8500 * (\frac{2}{3})^r

Substitute B(r) = 4250

4250 = 8500 * (\frac{2}{3})^r

Divide both sides by 8500

\frac{4250}{8500} =  (\frac{2}{3})^r

\frac{1}{2} =  (\frac{2}{3})^r

Take log of both sides

log(\frac{1}{2}) = log (\frac{2}{3})^r

Apply law of logarithm

log(\frac{1}{2}) = r\ log (\frac{2}{3})

Make r the subject

r = log(\frac{1}{2}) / log (\frac{2}{3})

r = \frac{-0.3010}{-0.1761}

r = 1.71

<em>Hence, it reduces by 1/2 after every 1.71 seconds</em>
