Answer:

The population of bacteria after 6 days is 2,313.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The initial population of bacteria = i = 1,000 bacteria

The growth rate of bacteria per day = 15%

Let The population of bacteria after 6 days = f

The time period of growth = 6 days

<u>Now, According to question</u>

The population of bacteria after 6 days = initial population × (1+\dfrac{\textrm rate}{100})^{\textrm time}

Or, f = i × (1+\dfrac{\textrm r}{100})^{\textrm t}

Or, f = 1000 × (1+\dfrac{\textrm 15}{100})^{\textrm 6}

Or, f = 1000 × (1.15)^{6}

Or, f = 1000 × 2.31306

∴  f = 2,313.06

So,The population of bacteria after 6 days = f = 2,313.06

Hence,The population of bacteria after 6 days is 2,313.06  Answer

Answer:

There was a 1.93% probability of having multiples (twins or more) in 1980.

Step-by-step explanation:

There were 3,612,258 births in the US in 1980.

Of those,

68339 + 1337 = 69676 were multiplies.

So

What was the probability of having multiples (twins or more) in 1980?

P = \frac{69676}{3612258} = 0.0193

There was a 1.93% probability of having multiples (twins or more) in 1980.

A dealer offers a $35,000 car with a downpayment of $3,000 and 65 easy monthly payments of $539.99. How much monthly interest ra
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

9.68%

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of car = $35,000

down payment = $3,000

number of monthly instalments= $65

amount in every monthly instalment= $539.99

total monthly payment= 65×539.99= 35099.35

amount to be paid apart from downpayment= $35,000-3000= 32,000

therefore total interest paid in 65 months= 35099.35-3200= $3099.35

now, monthly interest rate r= \frac{3099.35}{32,000}\times100

⇒ r= 9.68%

An agricultural company called Phatsima Pty. Ltd. owns an rectangular fuel tank that measures 75 cm by 65 cm by 30 cm.
GaryK [48]
I believe that A is the answer. We can solve this by multiplying 75cm, 65cm and 30cm together. This would give us 146,250.00ml. We can then divide 146,250.00 by 1000 to receive 146.25. We then divide 146.25 by 2 to calculate how many litres there are in half a tank. This would result in 73.125. After that, we multiple 73.125 by the cost of the fuel, which is R20.35. We then receive R 1,480.09375, which can be rounded to R 1,480.10

Is (-a + b)² = a² - 2ab + b² right or wrong, and why?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf Right.}

Step-by-step explanation:

(-a+b)^2

Let's apply the formula (x+y)² = x² + 2xy + y²

Here, x = -a and y = b

So,

= (-a)² + 2(-a)(b) + (b)²

= a² - 2ab + b²

Hence, it has been proved that (-a + b)² = a² - 2ab + b².

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
