6 0

Answer:

180 goats

Step-by-step explanation:

3/3-1/3=2/3.

2/3=4/6 remaining.

4/6-1/6=3/6 which also equals 1/2.

If 90=1/2 then 90*2=180.

Hope this helps!! <3

At the beginning of an experiment, the number of bacteria in a colony was counted at time t=O. The number of bacteria in the col

yan [13]

Answer:

1092

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the number of bacteria in the colony t minutes after the initial count modeled by the function $B(t)=9(3)^t$ . We are asked to find the average rate of change in the number of bacteria over the first 6 minutes of the experiment.

We will use average rate of change formula to solve our given problem.

$\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

$\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{b(6)-b(0)}{6-0}$

$\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{9(3)^6-9(3)^0}{6}$

$\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{9(729)-9(1)}{6}$

$\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{6561-9}{6}$

$\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{6552}{6}$

$\text{Average rate of change}=1092$

Therefore, the average rate of change in the number of bacteria is 1092 bacteria per minute.

A student has a total of 233 points on three tests. The scores on the first and second tests are the same. The third score excee

skad [1K]

Answer:

Let the scores on the first two test be x

Let score for third test be 14 exceeds second( or first) = x + 14

Total = 233

x + x + (x + 14) = 233

3x + 14 = 233

3x = 219

x = 73

Score of the third test = x + 14 = 73 + 14 = 87

Therefore, the scores are 73, 73, 87
