If pr = 4x – 2 and rs = 3x – 5, which expression represents ps?

2 answers:

7 0

This is from simple math knowledge of lines, segments and points. From the given data, pr and rs are line segments in the line ps. Thus, we add segments pr and rs together to solve for the line ps.

pr + rs = ps
4x - 2 + 3x - 5
(Add like terms) = 7x -7
(Further simplify) = 7(x-1)

Therefore, the final answer or expression of ps = 7(x-1).

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{0.0462 min}^{-1}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

One formula for the reproduction of bacteria is

$\dfrac{N}{N_{0}} = e^{kt}$

Data:

N = 2

N₀ = 1

t = 15 min

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{N}{N_{0}}& =& e^{kt}\\\\\dfrac{2}{1}& = & e^{k\times15 \text{ min}}\\\\2 & = & e^{15k \text{ min}}\\\ln 2 & = & 15k \text{ min}\\k & = & \dfrac{\ln2 }{\text{15 min}}\\\\& = & \textbf{0.0462 min}^{\mathbf{-1}}\\\\\end{array}\\\text{The value of the constant k is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.0462 min }^{\mathbf{-1}}}$}$
