As we know that 
x=x0*[1/2]n
putting the values 
375=3000*[1/2]n
375/3000=<span>[1/2]n
</span>1/8=<span>[1/2]n
simplify
[1/2]3=</span><span>[1/2]n
by cancelling them
so n=3
so it will take 3 minutes
hope it helps</span>

What is the center and radius of the circle?<br> (x-2)2 +(y+3)2 = 49
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Center: 2, -3

Radius: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The center of the circle is defined by the numbers subtracted from the variables. The x value for the center is 2, since it is x - 2, and the y value is -3, because y - -3.

The radius is equal to the square root of the constant on the other side.

The square root of 49 is 7.

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=3x-2 that passes trough the point (-9,5)
ElenaW [278]

\huge\boxed{y-5&=-\frac{1}{3}(x+9)}

First, we'll find the slope of the new line. The first line has a slope of 3. Take the negative reciprocal of this (Flip the numerator and denominator, then multiply by -1) to get -\frac{1}{3} for the new slope.

Then, we'll use the point-slope form to make the new equation, where m is the slope and (x_1,y_1) is a point on the line:

\begin{aligned}y-y_1&=m(x-x_1)\\y-5&=-\frac{1}{3}(x-(-9))\\y-5&=-\frac{1}{3}(x+9)\end{aligned}
