The population of bacteria after 40 hours is 254

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial population of bacteria = 40

Growth rate: Doubles every 15 hours

The population function is given as:

P_t = P_0 * r^t

Here

P0 is the initial population

r is the growth rate

and t is the time in hours

The growth rate will be: 2^{\frac{t}{15}}

Putting the values in the function

P_t = 40 * 2^{\frac{40}{15}}\\P_t = 40 * 2^{2.67}\\P_t = 40 * 6.34960...\\P_t = 253.98416...

Rounding off to nearest whole number we get

P_t ≅254

yuradex [85]

Answer:

1. x = 45°

2. x = 330°

3. x = 105°

4. x = 30°

5. x = 60°

6. x = 30° or x = -45° (315°) or x = 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. For

cos x = sin x

∴ sin x/(cos x) = 1 = tan x

Hence, x = tan⁻¹1 = 45°

2. For

csc(x) + 3 = 1

∴ csc(x) = 1 - 3 = -2

Which gives sin x = -1/2

∴ x = sin⁻¹(-1/2) = -30° = 360 +(-30) = 330 °

3. For

cot(3x) = -1

∵ cot(3x) = 1/(tan(3x))

Hence, 1/(tan(3x)) = -1

∴ tan(3x) = -1

3·x = tan⁻¹(-1) = -45° = 360 + (-45) = 315°

Which gives, x = -45/3 = -15° or x = 105°

4. For

2·sin²(x) + 3·sin(x) = 2

We put sin(x) = y to get

2·y² + 3·y = 2 or 2·y² + 3·y - 2 =0

Factorizing gives

(2·y -1)(y+2) =0

∴ y = 1/2 or y = -2

That is, sin(x) = 1/2 or sin(x) = -2

Hence, x = sin⁻¹(1/2) = 30° or x = sin⁻¹(-2) = (-π/2 + 1.3·i)

∴ x = 30°

5. For

4cos²(x) = 3 we have;

cos²(x) = 3/4

cos(x) = √(3/4) = (√3)/2

∴ x = cos⁻¹((√3)/2) = 60°

6. For

4·sin³(x) + 1 = 2·sin²(x) + 2·sin(x)

We put sin(x) = y to get;

4·y³ + 1 = 2·y² + 2·y which gives;

4·y³ + 1 - (2·y² + 2·y) = 0 or 4·y³ -2·y² - 2·y + 1 = 0

Factorizing gives;

\frac{(2x-1)(2x+\sqrt{2}) )(2x-\sqrt{2})}{2} =0

Therefore, x = 1/2 or x = -(√2)/2 or (√2)/2

Therefore, sin(x) = 1/2 or -(√2)/2 or (√2)/2

That is x = sin⁻¹(1/2) = 30 or sin⁻¹(-(√2)/2) = -45 or sin⁻¹((√2)/2) = 45.

Aiko had $20 dollars to buy candles returned 2 candles for which she had paid $4.75 each. Then she brought 3 candles for $3.50 e
Furkat [3]
4.75 X 2= 9.50.
3.50 X 3= 10.50.
10.50 + 9.50= $20
$20 - 20$= $0

If Jenny can read 7 books in 8 days, exactly how many days would it take her to read 20 books?
muminat

Answer:

<h2><em><u>23</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>days</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Given</u></em><em><u>,</u></em>

No. of days taken by Jenny to read 7 books

= 8

<em><u>So</u></em><em><u>,</u></em>

No. of days taken by her to read 1 book

=  \frac{8}{7}

<em><u>Therefore</u></em><em><u>,</u></em>

No. of days taken by her to read 20 books

=  \frac{8}{7} × 20

  • <em>[</em><em>On</em><em> </em><em>Simplification</em><em>]</em>

=  \frac{160}{7}

  • <em>[</em><em>On</em><em> </em><em>dividing</em><em>]</em>

= 22.85.....

  • <em>[</em><em>On</em><em> </em><em>approximating</em><em>]</em>

= 23 days (approx. )

<em><u>Hence</u></em><em><u>,</u></em>

<em><u>Jenny</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>will</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>take</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>23</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>days</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>to</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>read</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>20</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>books</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u>Ans</u></em><em><u>)</u></em>
