Speed=distance / time; ⇒distance=speed *  time
Distance traveled by Ricardo
Distance (Ricardo)= (3 ft / s) * 15s+3 ft/s * time=45 ft+3 ft/s*t=45+3t

Distance traveled by John:
Distance(John)=(4 ft/s) * time=4t

Distance traveled by Ricardo=Distance traveled by John
3t+45=4t

Answer: D.  3t+45=4t

The number of E.coli bacteria cells in a pond of stagnant water can be represented by the function below, where A represents the
liq [111]

Answer:

  • <u>Option B. 59%</u>

Explanation:

The function that represents the number of E.coli bacteria cells per 100 mL of water as the time t years elapses is:

  • A(t)=136(1.123)^{4t}

The base, 1.123, represents the multiplicative constant rate of change of the function, so you just must substitute 1 for t in the power part of the function:

  • rate=(1.123)^{4t}=(1.123)^4=1.590

Then, the multiplicative rate of change is 1.590, which means that every year the number of E.coli bacteria cells per 100 mL of water increases by a factor of 1.590, and that is 1.59 - 1 = 0.590 or 59% increase.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

B $12.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 84.63 by 100 to get 1% of the bill and then multiply the answer by 15 for 15% and round it:

$\frac{84.63}{100} \times 15 = 12.6945$

The closest answer would be B $12.69.

As part of a quality-control program, 4 batteries from a box of 17 is chosen at random for testing. In how many ways can this te
belka [17]

Answer:

This test batch can be chosen in 2380 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the batteries are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In how many ways can this test batch be chosen?

4 batteries from a set of 17. So

C_{17,4} = \frac{17!}{4!(17-4)!} = 2380

This test batch can be chosen in 2380 ways
