Answer:

64%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent that was plastic is the plastic over the total * 100 %

percent plastic = 16/25 *100%

= .64 *100%

64%

The LCM of 2 numbers is 60 and 1 of the numbers is 7 less than the other number. What are the numbers?

Phoenix [80]

Let's represent the two numbers by x and y. Then xy=60. The smaller number here is x=y-7.

Then (y-7)y=60, or y^2 - 7y - 60 = 0. Use the quadratic formula to (1) determine whether y has real values and (2) to determine those values if they are real:

discriminant = b^2 - 4ac; here the discriminant is (-7)^2 - 4(1)(-60) = 191. Because the discriminant is positive, this equation has two real, unequal roots, which are
-(-7) + sqrt(191)
y = -------------------------
-2(1)

and

-(-7) - sqrt(191)
y = ------------------------- = 3.41 (approximately)
-2(1)

Unfortunately, this doesn't make sense, since the LCM of two numbers is generally an integer.

Try thinking this way: If the LCM is 60, then xy = 60. What would happen if x=5 and y=12? Is xy = 60? Yes. Is 5 seven less than 12? Yes.

A colony of bacteria is growing at a rate of 0.2 times its mass. Here time is measured in hours and mass in grams. The mass of t

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Question 1: $dm/dt=0.2m$

Question 2: $m=Ae^{(0.2t)}$

Question 3: $m=10e^{(0.2t)}$

Question 4: $m=10g$

Explanation:

Question 1: Write down the differential equation the mass of the bacteria, m, satisfies: m′= .2m

a) By definition: $m'=dm/dt$

b) Given: $rate=0.2m$

c) By substitution: $dm/dt=0.2m$

Question 2: Find the general solution of this equation. Use A as a constant of integration.

a) Separate variables

$dm/m=0.2dt$

b) Integrate

$\int dm/m=\int 0.2dt$

$ln(m)=0.2t+C$

c) Antilogarithm

$m=e^{0.2t+C}$

$m=e^{0.2t}\cdot e^C$

$e^C=A\\\\m=Ae^{(0.2t)}$

Question 3. Which particular solution matches the additional information?

Use the measured rate of 4 grams per hour after 3 hours

$t=3hours,dm/dt=4g/h$

First, find the mass at t = 3 hours

$dm/dt=0.2m\\\\4=0.2m\\\\m=4/0.2\\\\m=20g$

Now substitute in the general solution of the differential equation, to find A:

$m=Ae^{(0.2t)}\\\\20=Ae^{(0.2\times 3)}\\\\A=20/e^{(0.6)}\\\\A=10.976$

Round A to 1 significant figure:

A = 10.

Particular solution:

$m=10e^{(0.2t)}$

Question 4. What was the mass of the bacteria at time =0?

Substitute t = 0 in the equation of the particular solution:

$m=10e^{0}\\\\m=10g$

Lashonda is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies she can choose from, and they have the following prices.C

musickatia [10]

Answer:
30 < m
The solution would be (30, ∞)

Explanation:
For company A:
The charge is: $96 for any number of mileage ..............> I
For company B:
The charge is $75 fixed and 0.7 for each mileage m. This means that the charge is: 75 + 0.7m .................> II

We want the charge of company A to be less than the charge of company B. This means that we want I to be less than II.
Therefore,
96 < 75 + 0.7m
96 - 75 < 0.7m
21 < 0.7m
21/0.7 < m
30 < m

This means that for any mileage greater than 30, the charge of company A will be less than the charge of company B

Hope this helps :)
