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 sum S of the first n integers is given by the formula S=1/2n(n+1). How many integers must be taken to have a sum of
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

We require to solve for n, hence

\frac{1}{2} n(n + 1) = 325

multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction

n(n + 1) = 650

n² + n = 650

subtract 650 from both sides to have equation in standard form

n² + n - 650 = 0 ← in standard form

(n + 26)(n - 25) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for n

n + 26 = 0 ⇒ n = - 26

n - 25 = 0 ⇒ n = 25

however, n > 0 ⇒ n = 25

Look at picture <br>y=_<br><br>the height of the baseball after 5 seconds is ___ feet​
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

  • y = -2(x -3)² +24
  • 16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We expect the equation for y to be quadratic. Since the table is obviously symmetrical about x=3, we can start with the vertex form ...

  y = a(x -3)² +b

Filling in the values from the first two table points, we get

  For (x, y) = (0, 6):

     6 = a(0 -3)² + b       ⇒   9a +b = 6

  For (x, y) = (2, 22):

     22 = a(2-3)² +b       ⇒   a +b = 22

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  (9a +b) -(a +b) = (6) -(22)

  8a = -16 . . . . . . collect terms

  a = -2 . . . . . . . . divide by 8

The second equation above tells us ...

  b = 22 -a = 22 -(-2) = 24

So, our equation for y is ...

  y = -2(x -3)² +24

__

The value of y for x=5 is ...

  y = -2(5 -3)² +24 = 16

The height of the ball after 5 seconds is 16 feet.
