<u>Answer</u>
The first student was right.
The length of the long side is at least 13 inches.
<u>Explanation</u>
The perimeter of any figure is the distance all round.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w). Where l is length and w is the width.
2(l + w) ≥ 30
2{(x-3) + 2} ≥ 30
2(x-3+2) = 30
2(x - 1) ≥ 30
x - 1 ≥ 15
x ≥ 16
When x = 16,
l = 16-3
= 13 inches
The length of the long side is 13 inches. The first student was right.
This is how you would solve the question.
Answer: A single turquoise guppy costs $3.69
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us use "x" to represent the amount a single turquoise is sold and use "y" to represent that of the Glo fish.
Since Kellen bought 4 guppies and 3 glo fishes for $41.73:
4x + 3y = 41.73 --------eqn 1
Similarly, Danielle purchased 3 guppies and 5 Glo fish for $56.02:
Therefore 3x + 5y = $56.02 -----eqn2
The 2 equations are;
4x + 3y = 41.73 (eqn 1)
3x + 5y = 56.02 (eqn 2)
We then solve the simultaneous equations using substitution method:
From eqn 1,
4x + 3y = 41.73
4x = 41.73 - 3y
x = (41.73 - 3y)/4
Substitute x for (41.73 - 3y)/4 in eqn2.
3[(41.73 - 3y)/4 + 5y = 56.02
11y + 125.19 = 224.08
11y =98.89
y = 98.89/11
y = $8.99
So, 1 Glo fish costs $8.99
Then, substitute "y" for 8.99 in equation 1
4x + (3×8.99) = 41.73
4x + 26.97 = 41.73
4x = 41.73 - 26.97
4x = 14.76
x = 14.76/4
x = $3.69
Therefore 1 turquoise guppy costs $3.69
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
V = L*w*h
L = 3
w = 2
h = ?
V = 24
24 = 2*3 * h Combine the right
24 = 6* h Divide both sides by 6
24/6 = 6h/6
4 = h
From the calculation, the growth rate is 0.88.
<h3>What is the growth rate?</h3>
To find the relative growth rate
P1 = Poe^rt
P2 = Poe^rt
Thus;
1920 = Poe^4r ------ (1)
1966080 =Poe^12r -------(2)
P2/P1 gives;
1966080/1920 = Poe^12r/Poe^4r
1024 = e^12r/e^4r
1024 =e^8r
1024 = (e^r)^8
2^10 = (e^r)^8
e^r = 2^1.25
e^r = 2.38
r = ln(2.38)
r = 0.88
The initial size of the culture is;
1920 = Poe^(0.88 * 4)
Po = 1920/e^(0.88 * 4)
Po = 57
The expression for the exact number of bacteria after t hours is
P(t) = 57e^0.08t
The growth (in bacteria per hour) after 9.5 hours is
P(t) = 57e^(0.88 * 9.5)
P(t) = 243544
For the number to reach 72,000;
72,000 = 57e^0.88t
72,000/57 = e^0.88t
ln 126 = ln[e^0.88t]
4.8 = 0.88t
t = 4.8/0.88
t = 5.5 hours
