A certain bacterial culture is multiplying in a culture dish, doubling in size every 6 minutes. It takes exactly an hour to fill

Furkat [3]

Doubling in size,

if the whole dish is filled in an hour (all of it)
how long does it take to fill 1/2 dish?

notice that
1/2 doubled=1/2 times 2=2/2=1 whole dish
therefor it only doubled one more time from the 1/2 point

1hour=all
1hour-6mins=1/2 dish

1hour-6mins=60-6=54 minutes

answer is 54 minutes

A rectangle is constructed with its base on the x-axis and two of its vertices on the parabola y equals = 100 100 minus −x squa

masha68 [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a rectangle is constructed with its base on the x axis and two of its vertices on the parabola

$y=100-x^2$

This parabola has vertex at (0,100) and symmetrical about y axis.

Any general point above x axis can be written as (a,b) (-a,b) since symmetrical about yaxis.

Hence coordinates of any rectangle are

$(a,0) (-a,0), (a, 100-a^2), (-a, 100-a^2)$

Length of rectangle = 2a and width = $100-a^2$

Area of rectangle = lw = $2a(100-a^2)=200a-400a^3$

To find max area, use derivative test.

$A' = 200-800a^2\\A"=-1600a$

Hence maxima when first derivative =0

i.e. when a =2

Thus we find dimensions of the rectangle are l =4 and w = 96

Maximum area = $4(96) = 384$

What is the value of x ??

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tangent-Secant Exterior Angle Measure Theorem states that if a tangent and a secant or two tangents/secants intersect outside of a circle, then the measure of the angle formed by them is half of the difference of the measures of its intercepted arcs. Basically, what that means here is that $x$ equals half of the difference of $30\textdegree$ and the measure of the unlabeled arc.

First, we need to find the measure of the unlabeled arc, since we can't find $x$ without it. We know that the measure of the full arc formed by the circle is $360\textdegree$ , so the measure of the unlabeled arc must be $360-30-100-100=130\textdegree$ by the Arc Addition Postulate.
