Answer:

13 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 2 and b = -3

so the question asks whats.... a^3 - b^3/5

First we plug in the values of a and b

(2)^3 - (-3)^3 /5

Now we solve the ones in paranthesis first

(2)^3 = 8 because 2×2×2 and

-(-3)^3 forget about the - outside the parenthesis so

(-3)^3 = (-27) because (-3)×(-3)×(-3)

now we put it back together

8 -(-27)/5

the two minus become plus so

8 + 27/5

Now we solve it like fractions

8 and 27/5

simplify

13 and 2/5

Hope that helps!

A boat that costs $8550 decreases in value by 12% per year. How much will the boat be worth after 3 years?

erastovalidia [21]

You have to take $8,550 times 0.12 (12%) to find out the number it is being decreased by.
8,550 x 0.12 = 1,026
And then, you have to subtract 1,026 from 8,550 three times for three years and your answer becomes 5,472.
$5,472

The population of bacteria in a petri dish doubles every 24 h. The population of the bacteria is initially 500 organisms. How lo

liberstina [14]

Answer:

16.34 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information we can see that the case is of exponential growth

Hence, we will use the formula

$A=P(2)^\frac{t}{24}$

Here A =800 is the amount that is needed to reach

P is the initial amount that is 500

We have to find the time it will take to reach 800 that is we need to find t

On substituting the values in the formula we get

$800=500(2)^\frac{t}{24}$

On simplification we get

$\Rightarrow\frac{8}{5}=(2)^\frac{t}{24}$

Taking log on both sides we get

$\Rightarrow\log\frac{8}{5}=\log(2)^\frac{t}{24}$

using $\log\frac{m}{n}=\log m-\log n$

And $\log a^m=m\log a$

$\Rightarrow\log{8}-\log{5}=\frac{t}{24}\log2$

Now substituting values of log 8=0.903, log 5=0.698 and log 2=0.301 we get

$\Rightarrow 0.903-0.698=\frac{t}{24}0.301$

$\Rightarrow 0.205=\frac{t}{24}0.301$

$\Rightarrow \frac{0.205}{0.301}\cdot 24=t$

$\Rightarrow t=16.34$
