Answer: Sample response: No, his answer is not correct. Jordan incorrectly found that 10% of 150 is 5. 10% of 150 is 150 ÷ 10 = 15. 50% of 150 is 75. 10% + 50% = 15 + 75 = 90. The correct answer is 90 people.

No that is correct. it is 90 people. because 60% of 150 people is 90 people not 80

Which function can be used to find the number of cells of bacteria in the population at time t

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

db / dt = kb

this becomes b(t) = Ce^(kt)

C = 100, the initial population

P(1) = 420 = 100 e^(1k)

4.2 = e^k

ln 4.2 = k

a) thus, b(t) = 100 e^(t ln 4.2)

b) b(3) = 100 e^(3 ln 4.2)

c) growth constant will still be ln 4.2 (constant percentage of populatioin)

d) 10000 = 100 e^(t ln 4.2)

100 = e^(t ln 4.2)

ln 100 = t ln 4.2

t = ln 100 / ln 4.2

Please help really need to pass

First add 5 to right side
$\frac{x}{7} = -4+5 = 1$
Next , to cancel the 7, you need to multiply by 7 on both sides
$x = 1*7 = 7$

Answer:

A. -5 - 3x > 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -6

A. -5 - 3(-6) > 10

-5 + 18 = 13 > 10

true

B. -3 - 5(-6) < -14

-3 + 30 = 27 < -14

false

C. 1 - 2(-6) > 13

1 + 12 = 13 > 13

false

D. 2 - (-6) <-3

2 + 6 = 8 < -3

A circle has an equation (x+2)2+(y−5)2=64. What is 34 of its area.

skad [1K]

Answer:

3/4 of the area of the circle is of $48\pi$ squared units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a circle:

The equation of a circle has the following format:

$(x - x_0)^2 + (y - y_0)^2 = r^2$

In which the center is $(x_0,y_0)$ and r is the radius.

Area of a circle:

The area of a circle of radius r is given by:

$A = \pi r^2$

Circle (x+2)² + (y-5)² = 64

Comparing with the standard equation, we have that:

$r^2 = 64$

Area of the circle:

$A = \pi r^2 = 64\pi$

What is 3/4 of its area?

$\frac{3A}{4} = \frac{3*64\pi}{4} = 3*16\pi = 48\pi$

3/4 of the area of the circle is of $48\pi$ squared units.
