A scientist is growing bacteria in a lab for study. One particular type of bacteria grows at a rate of y=2t^2+3t+500. A differen

t bacteria grows at a rate of y=3t^2+t+300. In both of these eqiations y is the number of bacteria after t minutes. When is there an equal number of both types of bacteria.

ANSWER

Approximately after 15 minutes.

EXPLANATION

The growth rate of the first bacteria is

y = 2 {t}^{2}   + 3t + 500

The growth rate of the first bacteria :

y = 3 {t}^{2}  + t + 300

To find the time that, there will be an equal number of bacteria, we equate the two equation;

3 {t}^{2}  + t + 300 = 2 {t}^{2}   + 3t + 500

3 {t}^{2}  - 2 {t}^{2}   + t  - 3t +  300 - 500 =00

{t}^{2}  - 2t  - 200= 0

We solve for t to get,

t = 15.177

Or

t =  - 13.177

We discard the negative value.

This implies that,

t \approx15

The answer is 5.13 in²

Step 1. Calculate the diameter of the circle (d).
Step 2. Calculate the radius of the circle (r).
Step 3. Calculate the area of the circle (A1).
Step 4. Calculate the area of the square (A2).
Step 5. Calculate the difference between two areas (A1 - A2) and divide it by 4 (because there are total 4 segments) to get <span>the area of one segment formed by a square with sides of 6" inscribed in a circle.
</span>
Step 1:
The diameter (d) of the circle is actually the diagonal (D) of the square inscribed in the circle. The diagonal (D) of the square with side a is:
D = a√2            (ratio of 1:1:√2 means side a : side a : diagonal D = 1 : 1 : √2)
If a = 6 in, then D = 6√2 in.
d = D = 6√2 in

Step 2.
The radius (r) of the circle is half of its diameter (d):
r = d/2 = 6√2 / 2 = 3√2 in

Step 3.
The area of the circle (A1) is:
A = π * r²
A = 3.14 * (3√2)² = 3.14 * 3² * (√2)² = 3.14 * 9 * 2 = 56.52 in²

Step 4.
The area of the square (A2) is:
A2 = a²
A2 = 6² = 36 in²

Step 5:
(A1 - A2)/4 = (56.52 - 36)/4 = 20.52/4 =  5.13 in²

Jimmy collects nickels and dimes. Right now, he has a total of 40 coins in his piggy bank. If there are seven times as many dime
Colt1911 [192]
Number of nickels plus number of dimes equals total number of coins
so
n + d = 40

then they tell us that "there are seven times as many dimes as there are nickels"
this translates to
d = 7n

we then plug that into our first equation
and get
n + 7n = 40

then we solve for n
add like terms
8n = 40

then divide both sides by 8
n = 40/8 = 5

therefore Jimmy has 5 nickels

Solve the system of equations. y=3x-1 and y=-2x+9. PLEASE SHOW WORK
kow [346]

Since both equations equal Y, set them equal to each other and solve.


3x -1 = -2x +9

Add 2x to each side:

5x - 1 = 9

Add 1 to each side:

5x = 10

Divide both sides by 5:

x = 10/5

x = 2


Now replace x with 2 and solve for y:

y = 3(2) -1 = 6-1 = 5


x = 2, y = 5  (2,5)
