If point Y is between points X and Z, then

XY + YZ = XZ

In words, the distance from X to Y, plus the distance from Y to Z, is equal to the distance from X to Z. (See the attached picture.)

So 6b + 8b = 175

Answer:

The value of b is 12.5. The length of YZ is 100 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: XY=6b, YZ=8b, XZ=175 and Y is between X and Z.

It means X,Y, Z are collinear points and point Y divides the line segment XZ is two ports.

Using segment addition property, we get

$XY+YZ=XZ$

Substitute XY=6b, YZ=8b, XZ=175 in the above equation.

$6b+8b=175$

$14b=175$

Divide both sides by 14.

$b=\frac{175}{14}$

$b=12.5$

The value of b is 12.5.

The length of YZ is

$YZ=8b=8\times 12.5=100$

Therefore the length of YZ is 100 units.

Suppose that the concentration of a bacteria sample is 60 comma 000 bacteria per milliliter. If the concentration triples in 4

Elodia [21]

Answer:

1.932 days (or approximatelly 1 day, 22 hours and 22 minutes)

Step-by-step explanation:

The inicial concentration is 60,000, and this concentration triples every 4 days, so we can write the equation:

P = Po * r^t

where P is the final concentration after t periods of 4 days, Po is the inicial concentration and r is the ratio that the concentration increases (r = 3)

Then, we have that:

102000 = 60000 * 3^t

3^t = 102/60 = 1.7

log(3^t) = log(1.7)

t*log(3) = log(1.7)

t = log(1.7)/log(3) = 0.483

so the number of days that will take is 4*0.483 = 1.932 days (or approximatelly 1 day, 22 hours and 22 minutes)
