The answer is C because there is no number raised to the power of x in the equation

Two angles of a triangle have the same measure and the third one is 18 degrees greater than the measure of each of the other two

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

72°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 equal angles be x then the third angle is x + 18

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°, thus

x + x + x + 18 = 180, that is

3x + 18 = 180 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

3x = 162 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 54

Hence

the largest angle = x + 18 = 54 + 18 = 72°

The number of bacteria after t hours is given by N(t)=250 e^0.15t a) Find the initial number of bacteria and the rate of growth

Art [367]

Answer:

a) $N_0=250\; k=0.15$

b) 334,858 bacteria

c) 4.67 hours

d) 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Initial number of bacteria is the coefficient, that is, 250. And the growth rate is the coefficient besides “t”: 0.15. It’s rate of growth because of its positive sign; when it’s negative, it’s taken as rate of decay.

Another way to see that is the following:

Initial number of bacteria is N(0), which implies $t=0$ . And $N(0)=N_0$ . The process is:

$N(t)=250 e^{0.15t}\\N(0)=250 e^{0.15(0)}\\ N_0=250e^{0}\\N_0=250\cdot1\\ N_0=250$

b) After 2 days means $t=48$ . So, we just replace and operate:

$N(t)=250 e^{0.15t}\\N(48)=250 e^{0.15(48)}\\ N(48)=250e^{7.2}\\N(48)=334,858\;\text{bacteria}$

c) $N(t_1)=4000; \;t_1=?$

$N(t)=250 e^{0.15t}\\4000=250 e^{0.15t_1}\\ \dfrac{4000}{250}= e^{0.15t_1}\\16= e^{0.15t_1}\\ \ln{16}= \ln{e^{0.15t_1}} \\ \ln{16}=0.15t_1 \\ \dfrac{\ln{16}}{0.15}=t_1=4.67\approx 5\;h$
