Answer:
x =104
y=76
z=104
Step-by-step explanation:
Y and 76 are vertical angles and vertical angles are equal
y = 76
x and 76 form a linear pair and linear pairs add to 180
x+76 = 180
x = 180-76
x = 104
x and z are vertical angles and vertical angles are equal
z = 104
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 
← factor denominator
= - 
We require the fractions to have a common denominator.
Multiply numerator/denominator of first fraction by x
= 
-
Subtract terms on numerator leaving the common denominator
= 
=
Don't know whether or not you've encountered differential equations yet, but will try that approach here.
The growth rate is dy/dt = ky (which states that the rate is proportional to the size of the population, y, and k is a constant.
Grouping like terms,
dy
--- = kt, so y = Ne^kt
y
We are told that at t=0, there are 880 bacteria. Thus, 880=N. Therefore,
y = 880e^(kt). After 5 hours the pop will be 4400; using this info, find k:
4400=880e^(5k), or 5 = e^(5k). So, our y = 880e^(kt) becomes
y = 880e^(5t).
What will be the pop after 2 hours? y(2)=880e^(10) = 880(22026) =
approx. 19,383,290 bacteria
Time to reach a pop of 2550? 2550 = 880e^(5t). Find t.
ln 2550 = ln 880 + 5t, so ln 2550 - ln 880 = 5t. Divide both sides by 5 to obtain this time, t.
