Answer:

  • <u>Question 1:</u>      dm/dt=0.2m<u />

<u />

  • <u>Question 2:</u>     m=Ae^{(0.2t)}<u />

<u />

  • <u>Question 3:</u>      m=10e^{(0.2t)}<u />

<u />

  • <u>Question 4:</u>      m=10g<u />

Explanation:

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

<u></u>

a) By definition:  m'=dm/dt

b)  Given:  rate=0.2m

c) By substitution:  dm/dt=0.2m

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

a) <u>Separate variables</u>

     dm/m=0.2dt

b)<u> Integrate</u>

           \int dm/m=\int 0.2dt

            ln(m)=0.2t+C

c) <u>Antilogarithm</u>

       m=e^{0.2t+C}

       m=e^{0.2t}\cdot e^C

         e^C=A\\\\m=Ae^{(0.2t)}

<u>Question 3. Which particular solution matches the additional information?</u>

<u></u>

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.

<u>Particular solution:</u>

           

             m=10e^{(0.2t)}

<u>Question 4. What was the mass of the bacteria at time =0?</u>

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

         m=10e^{0}\\\\m=10g

Solve using the quadratic formula. Show all work. Write each solution in simplest form. No decimals.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

x = -2+√3i and -2-√3i

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the general formula is expressed as;

x = -b±√b²-4ac/2a

Given the expression

x²+4x+7 = 0

a = 1, b = 4 and c = 7

Substitute

x = -4±√4²-4(1)(7)/2(1)

x  = -4±√16-28/2

x = -4±√-12/2

x = -4±√4*-3/2

x = -4±2√-3/2

x = -4±2√3i/2

x = -4+2√3i/2 and  -4-2√3/2

x = -2+√3i and -2-√3i

Help!!! Find the center and radius of the circle with the equation (x-4)²+(y+6)²=16
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Center:  (4,-6)

Radius: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

It is necessary to remember that the Equation of the circle in Center-radius form, is:

(x -h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

Where the center of the circle is at the point (h, k) and the radius is "r".

Then, given the following equation of the circle:

(x-4)^2+(y+6)^2=16

We can notice that it is written in Center-radius form. Then we can identify that:

h=4\\k=-6

Therefore the center is:

(4,-6)

And the radius is:

r^2=16\\\\r=\sqrt{16}\\\\r=4

If 1-cosA = 1/2 , Then find the value of sinA.
zimovet [89]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

1- cosA = 1/2

or, CosA = 1 -1/2

Therefore ; CosA = 1/2 = b/h

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

P = root under h^2 - b^2

= root under (2)^2 - (1)^2

= root under 4 -1

= root 3

Again,

SinA = P/h

= root 3 / 2

$10.40 to $13.12 is simplify your answer
Bumek [7]

The required simplified value of $10.40 to $13.12 is $2.72.

Given that,
To determine the simplified value of $10.40 to $13.12.

<h3>What is simplification?</h3>

The process in mathematics to operate and interpret the function to make the function or expression simple or more understandable is called simplifying and the process is called simplification.

Here,
In the question, asked about the difference between the numbers
$10.40 to $13.12
= 13.12 - 10.40
= $2.72

Thus, the required simplified value of $10.40 to $13.12 is $2.72.
