Answer:

0.785 m

Step-by-step explanation:

(4-2x)(6-2x)x = Volume

Volume = 4x³ - 20x² + 24x

Max volume: dV/dx = 0

dV/dx = 12x² - 40x + 24 = 0

3x² - 8x + 6 = 0

x = 2.54858377, 0.784749563

Max when d²V/dx² < 0

d²V/dx² = 6x - 8

At x = 0.784749563

6x - 8 = -3.29 < 0

Jonathan has 25 coins in his pockets and they are all either nickels or quarters. If he has a total of
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The answer is 10 quarters and 15 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say x equals the number of quarters and y quals the number of nickels. Since there is a total of 25 coins that means that x+y=25. But, the quarter costs 0.25, and the nickel costs 0.05. That means that we have to multiply the number of each coin with their cost. Which leads us to: (x*0.25)+(y*0.05)=3.25. By solving these two equations you'll see that x=10 and y=15.

Bobby is working in a lab testing bacteria populations. After starting out with a population of 282 bacteria, he observes the ch
pickupchik [31]

Given that the population quadruples every 39 minutes, you can determine that this bacteria population has Exponential Growth.

By definition, an Exponential Equation as this form:

y=ab^t

Where "a" is the initial amount, "b" is the base, and "t" is the time period.

In this case, you know that:

\begin{gathered} a=282 \\ b=4 \\ y=P \end{gathered}

Therefore, since you need to express the time "t" in minutes:

t=\frac{t}{39}

Now you can write the following equation to model the situation:

P=282\cdot4^{\frac{t}{39}}
