Answer:

x ≥ -5

Step-by-step explanation:

15≥-3x

switch sides

-3x≤15

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverse the inequality)

(-3x)(-1)≥15(-1)

Simplify

3x≥-15

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3≥ -15/3

Simplify

x≥ -5

Write a quadratic equation in standard form that has 5 3 and 7 3 as its roots. A) 9x2 − 36x + 35 = 0 B) 9x2 + 36x − 35 = 0 C) 9x

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Option A)

$9x^2 - 36x + 35 = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Roots of quadratic equation are:

$\alpha = \dfrac{5}{3}, \beta = \dfrac{7}{3}$

The sum of the roots and the product of the roots can be calculated as:

$\alpha + \beta = \dfrac{5+7}{3} = 4\\\\\alpha\beta = \dfrac{5}{3}\times \dfrac{7}{3} = \dfrac{5}{9}$

Standard form of quadratic equation:

$x^2-(\alpha + \beta)x+\alpha\beta = 0$

Putting values, we get,

$x^2 - 4x + \dfrac{35}{9} = 0\\\\9x^2 - 36x + 35 = 0$

is the required quadratic equation.

Thus, the correct answer is

Option A)

$9x^2 - 36x + 35 = 0$

The doubling period of a bacterial population is 20 20 minutes. At time t = 100 t=100 minutes, the bacterial population was 9000

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The initial population was 2810

The bacterial population after 5 hours will be 92335548

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacterial population growth formula is:

$P = P_0 \times e^{rt}$

where P is the population after time t, $P_0$ is the starting population, i.e. when t = 0, r is the rate of growth in % and t is time in hours

Data: The doubling period of a bacterial population is 20 minutes (1/3 hour). Replacing this information in the formula we get:

$2 P_0 = P_0 \times e^{r 1/3}$

$2 = e^{r \; 1/3}$

$ln 2 = r \; 1/3$

$ln 2 \times 3 = r$

$2.08 \% = r$

Data: At time t = 100 minutes (5/3 hours), the bacterial population was 90000. Replacing this information in the formula we get:

$90000 = P_0 \times e^{2.08 \; 5/3}$

$\frac{9000}{e^{2.08 \; 5/3}} = P_0$

$2810 = P_0$

Data: the initial population got above and t = 5 hours. Replacing this information in the formula we get:

$P = 2810 \times e^{2.08 \; 5}$

$P = 92335548$

X^2-5x-6 X^2+3x-40 X^2+3x-4

luda_lava [24]

x² - 5x - 6

= x² + x - 6x - 6

= x(x + 1) - 6(x + 1)

= (x - 6) (x + 1)

x² + 3x - 40

= x² + 8x - 5x - 40

= x(x + 8) -5(x + 8)

= (x - 5) (x + 8)

x² + 3x - 4

= x² + 4x - x - 4

= x(x + 4) -1(x + 4)

= (x - 1) (x + 4)
