-2×-y=3-9×-y=17

=2×+9×=1y+1y=17+3

11×=2y=20

11=y=20÷2

11y=10

y=10/11

The population of a bacteria sample doubles every 6 hours. How long would it take for the population to triple?

seraphim [82]

The way to solve this question is to essentially reverse the equation I used in the other answer.

I would solve this with some theoretical values. If you start with 3, how long would it take for it to triple, or reach 9.

the equation would look like 9 = 3(2)^t/6, note how the instead of 1/2 it is now 2 in the parenthesis, as it doubles every 6 hours rather than halves every amount of hours.

When placed into an algebra calculator, the answer should be about 9.5 hours

How do i find the volume of these similar solids? round to the nearest tenth HELP

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The volume of the larger solid is $592.6\ mm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is

If these solids are similar, find the volume of the larger solid

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two solids are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

x ----> the height of the larger solid in mm

y ----> the height of the smaller solid in mm

z ---> the scale factor

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$x=4\ mm\\y=3\ mm$

substitute

$z=\frac{4}{3}$ ---> scale factor

step 2

Find the volume of the larger solid

we know that

If two solids are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

x ----> the volume of the larger solid in cubic millimeters

y ----> the volume of the smaller solid in in cubic millimeters

z ---> the scale factor

$z^3=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{4}{3}$

$y=250\ mm^3$

substitute the values

$(\frac{4}{3})^3=\frac{x}{250}$

solve for x

$(\frac{64}{27})=\frac{x}{250}$

$x=250(\frac{64}{27})$

$x=592.6\ mm^3$
