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.

Determine the center and radius of the following circle equation:
ioda

Answer:

C(5,-9) and r=8.

Step-by-step explanation:

C(p, q) - center

r=radius

k:x^2 +y^2 +dx+ey+f=0

x^2+y^2 - 10x+18y+42=0

d=-10, e=18, f=42

p=-d/2=-(-10)/2=10/2=5

q=-e/2=-18/2=-9

r^2 =p^2+q^2-f

r^2 =5^2 +(-9)^2 - 42

r^2=25+81-42

r^2 =106-42

r^2 =64

r=sqrt(64)

r=8

C(p,q)=C(5,-9) r=8
