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.

Find the equation of the line passing through (2,-1) and parallel to the line 2x-y=4
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

y = 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation has to have the same slope -- in this case, it is 2 -- to be parallel to 2x - y = 4.

Now we have y = 2x - k.

Then, we plug in the coordinates to our new equation to solve for k.

-1 = 2(2)-k

-1 = 4-k

k = 5

So the final equation would be y = 2x - 5

Dayson is covering a package in the shape of a rectangular prism with wrapping paper. The package is 50 centimeters by 20 centim
goblinko [34]
<span>Dayson has 1 m2 of wrapping paper, which is 10000 cm2:
 1 m = 100 cm
 1 m^2 = (100 cm)^2 
 </span>1 m^2 = 10000 cm^2
 <span>The package has a surface area of cm2:
 A = 2*(50*20) + </span>2*(50*18) + 2*(18*20)
 A = <span> <span>4520 cm^2
 </span></span>The area of the package is less than the area of the wrapping paper (4520 cm^2 < 10000 cm^2<span>). So, Dayson cover the package with the wrapping paper.</span>
