The Researcher will find 69 viruses, because 231 viruses are decayed in 7 hours, if a virus with a decay rate of 19% per hour and they start with 300 viruses.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

                     A new virus with a decay rate of 19% per hour  

                    They start with 300 viruses

Step:1

                  Formula to calculate the viruses at decay rate,

                                                  y = A(1-r)^{t}............................(1)

                 Where, y - No of viruses after given time

                             A - Viruses at initial stage

                              r - Decay rate

                              t - No. of hours

                 From the given,

                              A = 300

                               r = 19% per hour

                               t = 7 hours

                Equation (1) becomes,

                                            y = 300(1-0.19)^{7}

                                               = 300(0.81)^{7}

                                               = 300(0.228767)

                                               = 68.63

               Viruses of 7 hours ≅ 69 viruses

                                                     ( or )

Step:1

        For 1st hour,

          = (No.of viruses in hour) - (No,of viruses in last hour × Decay rate )

              = (300)-(300 × 0.19)

              = 300 - 57

              = 243

       For 2nd hour,

              = (243)-(243 × 0.19)

              = 243 - 46.17

              = 196.83

      For 3rd hour,

              = (196.83)-(196.83 × 0.19)

              = 196.83 - 37.39

              = 159.4323

       For 4th hour,

              = (159.4323)-(159.4323 × 0.19)

              = 159.4323 - 30.2921

              = 129.1402

      For 5th hour,

              = (129.1402)-(129.1402 × 0.19)

              = 129.1402 - 24.5366

              = 104.6035

     For 6th hour,

              = ( 104.6035)-( 104.6035 × 0.19)

              =  104.6035 - 19.8747

              = 84.7288

     For 7th hour,

              = (84.7288)-(84.7288 × 0.19)

              =  84.7288 - 16.0984

              = 68.63 viruses

Result:

          The Researcher will find 69 viruses, because 231 viruses are decayed in 7 hours, if a virus with a decay rate of 19% per hour and they start with 300 viruses.

Recall from Intermediate Algebra that two non-vertical lines are perpendicular if and only if they have negative reciprocal slop
OLEGan [10]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The line is y  =  -4 x

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The line is y  =  \frac{1}{4} x  + 8

The point is P(0,0 )

Generally the equation for a line is yn =  mx  + c

Now comparing this with the given equation we see that

m  =\frac{1}{4} =  slope

C  =8  =  intercept

Generally the slope of the perpendicular to the given line is mathematically evaluated as

m_1  = -  \frac{1}{m}

=> m_1  = -  \frac{1}{ \frac{1}{4}}

=> m_1  = -4

Generally from the univesal equation of a line and the given point we have that

y = mx + c at p(0,0) and m_1 =  -4 is

0 = -4 (0 ) + c

=> c = 0

Hence the equation perpendicular to the line given at the point given is

y  =  -4 x

PLEASE HELP<br>L has y-intercept (0,5) and is perpendicular to the line with equation y=1/3x+1
marin [14]

Answer:

y=-3x+5

Explanation:

Given a line L such that:

• L has y-intercept (0,5); and

,

• L is perpendicular to the line with equation y=(1/3)x+1.

We want to find the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is given as:

\begin{equation} y=mx+b\text{ where }\begin{cases}m={slope} \\ b={y-intercept}\end{cases} \end{equation}

Comparing the given line with the form above:

y=\frac{1}{3}x+1\implies Slope,m=\frac{1}{3}

Next, we find the slope of the perpendicular line L.

• Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.

Let the slope of L = m1.

Since L and y=(1/3)x+1 are perpendicular, therefore:

\begin{gathered} m_1\times\frac{1}{3}=-1 \\ \implies Slope\text{ of line L}=-3 \end{gathered}

The y-intercept of L is at (0,5), therefore:

y-intercept,b=5

Substitute the slope, m=-3, and y-intercept, b=5 into the slope-intercept form.

\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ y=-3x+5 \end{gathered}

The equation of line L is:

y=-3x+5
