Let us assume the initial number of bacteria in the culture = xAfter 1 hour,The number of bacteria = 185x/100                                      = 1.85xAfter 2 hours,The number of bacteria = (185 * 1.85x)/100                                       = 3.42xSo3.42x = 12500x = 12500/3.42   = 3654.97   = 3655From the above deduction, we can conclude that the initial number of bacteria in the culture is 3655.

Let us assume the initial number of bacteria in the culture = x

After 1 hour,

The number of bacteria = 185x/100

                                     = 1.85x

After 2 hours,

The number of bacteria = (185 * 1.85x)/100 

                                     = 3.42x

So

3.42x = 12500

x = 12500/3.42

  = 3654.97

  = 3655

From the above deduction, we can conclude that the initial number of bacteria in the culture is 3655

The average speed to go by car from home to college is 30 miles per hour. The average speed to go back home from college is 20 m
Levart [38]

Answer:

24 mph for both 60 miles and 40 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find how long it takes to get to college and from it.

Speed x time (x) = Distance (60)

30x = 60

x=2

It takes two hours to get to college

20x = 60

x = 3

It takes 3 hours to get back. It's a total of 5 hours, 2 hours at 30mph and 3 at 20. Now we need to find the average

30+30+20+20+20=120

120/5= 24

The average speed for the round trip is 24.

To do the second part, we follow the same process, but replace 60 with 40 for distance.

30x=40

x= 1.33

20x=40

x=2

We can add the total distance and divide by total time to find the average.

The total distance is 80. Time is 3.33

80/3.33=24

The average speed is still 24.

The temperature inside a certain industrial machine at time t seconds after startup, for 0 < t < 10, is given by h(t) = 42
frutty [35]

Answer:

t= \frac{125}{38} s

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the temperature inside the machine from startup until 10 seconds later, the formula is:

h(t)= 42 \cdot t +1 - 4\cdot t +2  (degrees \, C)

We want to know at what time t the temperature inside the machine will be equal to 128 °C.

So we set:

h(t)=128

42\cdot t+1-4\cdot t+2=128

Now, we rearrange the equation to keep terms with t on the left hand side and terms without t on the right hand side

42\cdot t-4\cdot t=128-1-2

and we simplify:

(42-4)\cdot t= 128-2-1= 125

38 \cdot t = 125

now it's easy to solve for t:

t=\frac{125}{38}

And thus we arrive to the solution.
