Answer:

That is a quadratic equation.

It can be solved by using the quadratic formula:

x = (-b +-sqr root b^2 -4*a*c) / 2 *a

In this equation a = -3

b = -4 and c = -8

x = (--4 +- sqr root (-4^2 - 4 * -3 * -8)) / (2 * -3)

x = (4 +- sqr root (16 -96)) / -6

x = 4 +- sqr root (-80) / -6

x1 = (4 +8.94427191 * i) / -6

x2 =(4 -8.94427191 * i) / -6

Remember that "i" is the square root of minus 1.

The center of a hyperbola is (−4,3) , and one vertex is (−4,7) . The slope of one of the asymptotes is 2.

Monica [59]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

C (-4, 3)

V (-4, 7)

asymptotes = 2 = $\frac{b}{a}$

- This is a vertical hyperbola, the equation is

$\frac{(y - k)^{2} }{a^{2} } + \frac{(x - h)^{2} }{b^{2} } = 1$

slope = 2

a is the distance from the center to the vertex = 4

b = 2(4) = 8

$\frac{(y - 3)^{2} }{4^{2} } + \frac{(x + 4)^{2} }{8^{2} } = 1$

$\frac{(y - 3)^{2} }{16} + \frac{(x + 4)^{2} }{64} = 1$

stepladder [879]

Answer:

Roughly 16 million bacteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the rate of the bacteria going through mitosis times the amount of daughter cells per hour, for this case.

r x (m)ms x hr = bacteria in one day

Hope this helps!

note: ms and hr are millisecond and hour

What proportion of these candy bars have more than 300 calories per serving? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Hatshy [7]

Answer: 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 65 candy bars. Out of that;

2 candy bars have 300 to 350 calories

1 candy bar has 350 to 400 calories

4 candy bars have 400 to 450 calories

1 candy bar has 450 to 500 calories

The total proportion out of 65 candy bars that have over 300 calories is;

= ( 2 + 1 + 4 + 1) / 65

= 8/65

= 0.12
