(0,65-3,21)por(-8,12)=?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:  =20,7872

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember the multiplication of signs. Notice that:

(+)(+)=+\\\\(-)(-)=+\\\\(-)(+)=-\\\\(+)(-)=-

In this case you have the following expression given in the exercise:

(0,65-3,21)(-8,12)

Then you can follow the steps shown below in order to solve it:

Step 1: You must solve the subtraction of the numbers 0,65 and 3,21. Then:

=(-2,56)(-8,12)

Step 2: Now you must find the product of the decimal numbers above. In order to do that you must multiply the numbers.

(As you can notice, both are negative, therefore you know that the product will be positive).

Then, you get that the result is the following:

 =20,7872

harriet is cultivating a strain of bacteria has doubled by the end of every second hour. how many bacteria will harriet have in
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

n2^3 bacteria, n being the initial population.

Step-by-step explanation:

compound growth equation: P=n2^t

P is total population

n is initial population

t is time

since it doubles every second hour, and there are 6 hours

6hours/2hours= doubles 3 times, thats why t=3.

A bouncing ball reaches a height of 54 inches at its first peak, 36 inches at its second peak, and 24 inches at its third peak.
steposvetlana [31]
54, 36, 24 are the 1st 3 element of a geometric progression with 2/3 as a common ratio: PROOF:
the 1st term is 54, (a₁= 54) the 2nd term a₂ = 24, then
(a₂ = a₁.r) or 36 = 54.r → r= 36/54 = 2/3. Same logique for the 3rd term. 
So 2/3 is common ratio. We know that :U(n) = a.(r)ⁿ⁻¹. Then if a =54 and r = x (given by the problem), then f(x) = 54.xⁿ⁻¹
n, being the rank of any element of this geometric progression
