Answer:

60 maths books

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let the following be:</u>

  • Maths books = m
  • Science books = s
  • History books = h

<u>And we have ratios and sum:</u>

  • m/s = 3/2
  • s/h = 1/3
  • m+s+h = 220

<u>From the ratios we get:</u>

  • m = 3s/2
  • h= 3s

<u>Considering the above in the sum of books:</u>

  • m+s+h = 220
  • 3s/2 + s + 3s = 220
  • 3s + 2s + 6s = 2*220
  • 11s = 440
  • s = 440/11
  • s = 40

<u>Number of maths books:</u>

  • m = 3s/2 = 3*40/2 = 60

A colony of bacteria is growing exponentially according to the function below, where t is in hours. About how many hours will it
Ivenika [448]
The function is:
B ( t ) = 4 * e^(0.8 t)
4 * e^(0.8 t) = 400
e^(0.8 t) = 400: 4
e^(0.8 t) = 100   / ln
ln e^(0.8 t) = ln 100  ( and since: ln e = 1 and ln e^x = x * ln e )
0.8 t = 4.6
t = 4.6 : 0.8 = 5.76 ≈ 6
Answer:
D ) 6 hours.

Given right triangle JKL what is the value of cos(L)?
NemiM [27]
For the right triangle to be given in name of three letters such as this, the right angle is most likely to be in the center, in this case letter K. To determine the common trigonometric properties of a certain angle we may use of the mnemonics SOH - CAH - TOA. 
                          sin angle = opposite side / hypotenuse
                          cosine angle = adjacent side / hypotenuse
                          tangent angle = opposite side / adjacent side

If we let small letter j, k, and l be the sides opposite to angles J, K, and L, respectively. Then, the cos (L) will be,
                                       cos (L) = j/k
