You can solve this problem with the following

$\frac{1}{10} = \frac{a}{190}$
$10a = 190$
$a = 19$

There should be 19 adults on the trip.

The product of two consecutive positive even integers is 440. what are the integers

Natali [406]

1st integer: x
2nd integer: x+2

Multiply them: x(x+2)=440
X^2+2x-440=0
Use the quadratic formula
x=-22 or x=20
Since x must be a positive integer number, x=20.

Answer:
1st: 20.
2nd: 22

What is the equation of a line, in point slope form that passes through (-2, -6) and has a slope of 1/3

andreyandreev [35.5K]

<u>Answer:</u>

The equation of a line, in point slope form that passes through (-2, -6) and has a slope of 1/3 is $y+6=\frac{1}{3}(x+2)$

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that line passes through (-2, -6) and has slope of 1/3

We have to find the equation of the line

The point slope form is given as

$y-b=m(x-a)$

where m is the slope of the line and a, b are the x, y coordinates of the given point through which the line passes.

Here in this question, m = 1/3 and a = -2 and b = -6

By substituting in point slope form we get,

$y - (-6) = \frac{1}{3}(x - (-2))\\\\y + 6 = \frac{1}{3}(x + 2)$

Hence the equation of a line, in point slope form that passes through (-2, -6) and has a slope of 1/3 is $y+6=\frac{1}{3}(x+2)$

The number of bacteria in a certain culture doubled every hour. If there were 30 bacteria present in the culture initially, how

vichka [17]

Answer:

The number of bacteria after $8th$ will be $3840$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the initially 30 bacteria present in the culture.

Also, the number of bacteria got doubled every hour.

So, using the equation

$A=A_0r^{n-1}$

Where $A$ is number of bacteria after $n$ hours.

$A_0$ is bacteria present initially.

$r$ is the common ration, in our problem it is given that bacteria doubles every hour. So, $r=2$

And $n$ is the number of hours. In our problem we need amount of bacteria at the end of $8th$ hours. So, $n=8$

Plugging values in the formula we get,

$A=30(2)^{8-1}\\A=30\times 2^7\\A=30\times 128\\A=3840$

So, number of bacteria after $8th$ will be $3840$
