Answer:

Length 37 cm, width 25 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original dimensions be length x and width x - 12 cms.

The new dimensions will be length (x - 2) and width (x - 12 - 2) = x-14 cm.

So , from the areas, we have:

x(x - 12) - (x - 2)(x - 14) = 120

x^2 - 12x  - (x^2 - 16x + 28) = 120

-12x + 16x - 28 = 120

4x = 148

x = 37 cms

So the length was 37 cm and the width was 37-12 = 25 cm.

A bacteria colony increases in size at a rate of 4.0581e1.6t bacteria per hour. If the initial population is 36 bacteria, find t
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

1560

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of Increase of the population (P) of the bacteria is given as:

\frac{dP}{dt} =4.058e^{1.6t}

dP =4.058e^{1.6t}}dt\\Taking\: Integrals\\\int dP =4.058 \int e^{1.6t}dt\\P(t)=\frac{4.058}{1.6} (e^{1.6t} +K)\\P(t)=2.53625 (e^{1.6t} +K)

Where k is a constant of Integration.

At t=0, P(t)=36

36=2.53625 (e^{1.6*0} +K)\\36=2.53625 (e^{0} +K)\\36=2.53625 (1 +K)\\36=2.53625 +2.53625K\\K=13.19

Therefore:

P(t)=2.53625 (e^{1.6t} +13.19)\\At \: t=4\\P(4)=2.53625 (e^{1.6*4} +13.19)\\=1559.88\\P(4)=1560

HELP PLEASE
nordsb [41]

Answer:

<h3>perpendicular line:    y = -¹/₆ x + 4¹/₃ </h3><h3>  parallel line:              y = 6x - 45 </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

y=m₁x+b₁   ⊥   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇔    m₁×m₂ = -1

{Two lines are perpendicular if the product of theirs slopes is equal -1}

y = 6x - 7   ⇒   m₁=6

6×m₂ = -1        ⇒    m₂ = -¹/₆

 

The line y=-¹/₆ x+b passes through point (8, 3) so the equation:

3 = -¹/₆ ×8 + b must be true

3 = -⁴/₃ + b

b = 4¹/₃

Therefore equation in  slope-intercept form:

                                                     y = -¹/₆ x + 4¹/₃

y=m₁x+b₁   ║   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇔    m₁ = m₂

{Two lines are parallel if  their slopes are equal}

y = 6x - 7   ⇒   m₁=6   ⇒   m₂=6

The line y=6x+b passes through point (8, 3) so the equation:

3 = 6×8 + b must be true

3 = 48 + b

b = -45

Therefore equation in  slope-intercept form:

                                                     y = 6x - 45

For accounting purposes, the value of assets (land, buildings, equipment) in a business are depreciated at a set rate per year.
lidiya [134]

Answer: $ 125987.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The value, V(t) of $393,000 worth of assets after t years, that depreciate at 15% per year, is given by the formula

V (t)=V_o(b)^t, here V_o is the initial asset value  and b is the multiplicative decay factor.

The exponential decay function is given by ;-

f(x)=A(b)^x, where A is the initial value , x is the  times period and b is the multiplicative decay factor.

where b = 1-r, r is the rate of decay.

Since r = 15%=0.15

Therefore, b = 1-0.15=0.85

Now ,for 7 years , the value of assets is given by :-

V=393000(0.85)^7=125986.795\approx125987.80

Hence, the assets valued at after 7 years = $ 125987.80
