Answer: B. 4,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The initial amount of bacteria in the dish A= 500

Since, The amount of bacteria in the dish doubles every 3 hours.

The multiplicative rate of change after every 3 hours = 2

Time period = 3 hours

By exponential function, we have the amount of bacteria after time period 'x' is given by :-

$y=Ab^x$ , where A is the initial amount , b is the multiplicative rate of change in time period x.

Number of 3 hours period in 9 hours = 3

Therefore, x=3

Therefore, the amount of bacteria in the dish after 9 hours is given by :_

$y=500(2)^3=500\times8=4000$

When a willow tree was planted it was 24 inches tall. Three years later, the tree was

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Height of tree 3 years ago: 24 inches

Height of tree now: 54 inches

54-24 = 30

The tree grew 30 inches in 3 years.

So on average it grew 10 INCHES PER YEAR.

Let me know if this helps!

Given the general form of the sinusoidal function, y = AsinB(x - C) + D, match the following items.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

$\Delta y = A$ (Amplitude) (Correct answer: 1)

$\omega = B$ (Angular frequency) (Correct answer: 2)

$x_{o} = C$ (Phase shift) (Correct answer: 3)

$y_{o} = D$ (Vertical shift) (Correct answer: 4)

$\frac{2\pi}{\omega} = \frac{2\pi}{B}$ (Period) (Correct answer: 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a sinusoidal function is represented by the following characteristics:

$y = \Delta y \cdot \sin \omega\cdot (x- x_{o}) + y_{o}$ (1)

Where:

$\Delta y$ - Amplitude.

$\omega$ - Angular frequency.

$x_{o}$ - Phase shift.

$y_{o}$ - Vertical shift.

$x$ - Independent variable.

$y$ - Dependent variable.

In addition, we know that the period associated with the sinusoidal function ( $T$ ) is:

$T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}$

By direct comparison, we get the following conclusions:

$\Delta y = A$ (Amplitude) (Correct answer: 1)

$\omega = B$ (Angular frequency) (Correct answer: 2)

$x_{o} = C$ (Phase shift) (Correct answer: 3)

$y_{o} = D$ (Vertical shift) (Correct answer: 4)

$\frac{2\pi}{\omega} = \frac{2\pi}{B}$ (Period) (Correct answer: 5)

Prove :<br>sin²θ + cos²θ = 1<br><br><br>thankyou ~

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we need to prove that ,

$\sf\longrightarrow sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta = 1$

Imagine a right angled triangle with one of its acute angle as $\theta$ .

The side opposite to this angle will be perpendicular .
Also we know that ,

$\sf\longrightarrow sin\theta =\dfrac{p}{h} \\$

$\sf\longrightarrow cos\theta =\dfrac{b}{h}$

And by Pythagoras theorem ,

$\sf\longrightarrow h^2 = p^2+b^2 \dots (i)$

Where the symbols have their usual meaning.

Now , taking LHS ,

$\sf\longrightarrow sin^2\theta +cos^2\theta$

Substituting the respective values,

$\sf\longrightarrow \bigg(\dfrac{p}{h}\bigg)^2+\bigg(\dfrac{b}{h}\bigg)^2\\$

$\sf\longrightarrow \dfrac{p^2}{h^2}+\dfrac{b^2}{h^2}\\$

$\sf\longrightarrow \dfrac{p^2+b^2}{h^2}$

From equation (i) ,

$\sf\longrightarrow\cancel{ \dfrac{h^2}{h^2}}\\$

$\sf\longrightarrow \bf 1 = RHS$

Since LHS = RHS ,

Hence Proved !

I hope this helps.
