A chemist claims that he has found a chemical formula that will kill a certain bacteria. He claims it will kill half the bacteri

a in 40 seconds, and in the next 40 seconds kill half of the remaining half, and so on. If he is correct, and at a certain time there are 30 bacteria still alive, how many bacteria were alive 4 minutes earlier?

Answer:

4 Minutes = 240 seconds = 6*40 seconds

30*(1/2)^6 = 30*1/64 = 30/64 = 15/32 = 0.5

4 minutes later there is approx. 0 to 1 bacteria alive.

How do I Express the inequality x < 7 using interval notation.
Sedaia [141]

Answer:  (-\infty, 7)

You can write this as (-infinity, 7) if you aren't able to use the infinity symbol.

====================================================

Explanation:

Think of x < 7 as writing -\infty < x < 7

So x is between negative infinity and 7, excluding both endpoints.

To write -\infty < x < 7 in interval notation, we write (-\infty, 7)

The curved parenthesis tell us to exclude the endpoint.

An electrical pole is 12.4m tall. It is supported by a guy wire that is 17.3 long. how far is the anchor of the guy wire to the
kari74 [83]

The anchor of the guy wire is 12.06 meters away form base of electrical pole.

Further explanation:

The whole given scenario forms a right angle triangle. The pole is standing straight so it is the perpendicular while the guy wire goes from the top of pole to the anchor so it will be the hypotenuse. We have to finds the base.

Pythagoras theorem will be used.

Pythagoras theorem states that:

H^2=B^2+P^2

Given

Base=?

Perpendicular=12.4 m

Hypotenuse = 17.3 m

Putting the values

(17.3)^2=B^2+(12.4)^2\\299.29=B^2+153.76\\B^2=299.29-153.76\\B^2=145.53\\Takeing\ Square\ root\ on \both\ sides\\\sqrt{B^2}=\sqrt{145.53}\\B=12.06\ m

The anchor of the guy wire is 12.06 meters away form base of electrical pole.
