Answer: y = 54(1.06)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

It is estimated that the population of bacteria will increase by 6% each hour. This is an exponential growth. The formula for determining exponential growth is expressed as

y = b(1 + r)^ t

Where

y represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

b represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

b = 54

r = 6% = 6/100 = 0.06

Therefore, the formula for the population of bacteria is

y = 54(1 + 0.06)^t

y = 54(1.06)^t

A rectangle has an area of 0.24 of a square. What are some possibility for the length and width of the rectangle? Tell why
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

<h3>The possibilities of length and width of the rectangle are </h3><h3>x=1, y=0.24;</h3><h3>x=0.5, y=0.48;</h3><h3>x=0.25, y=0.96;</h3><h3>x=2, y=0.12</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the area is 0.24 square meter

The area of a rectangle is given by

Area=length\times width square units

Let x be the length and y be the width.

Since the area is 0.24 square meter, we have the equation:

Area=x\times y = 0.24, with x and y measures in meters

If we want to know some possibilities of x and y, we can assume a value for one of them, and then calculate the other one using the equation.

Now choosing some values for "x", we have:

Put x = 1

1\times y = 0.24

∴ y = 0.24

Now put x = 0.5 we get

0.5\times y = 0.24

∴ y = 0.48

Put  x = 0.25

0.25\times y = 0.24

∴ y = 0.96

Put x = 2

2\times y = 0.24

∴ y = 0.12

Find the value of $B - A$ if the graph of $Ax + By = 3$ passes through the point $(-7,2),$ and is parallel to the graph of $x +
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that since Ax + By = 3 passes through (-7, 2), then if we plug -7 in for x and 2 in for y, the equation is satisfied. So, let's do that:

Ax + By = 3

A * (-7) + B * 2 = 3

-7A + 2B = 3

We also know that this line is parallel to x + 3y = -5, which means their slopes are the same. Let's solve for y in the second equation:

x + 3y = -5

3y = -x - 5

y = (-1/3)x - (5/3)

So, the slope of this line is -1/3, which means the slope of Ax + By = 3 is also -1/3. Let's solve for y in the first equation:

Ax + By = 3

By = -Ax + 3

y = (-A/B)x + 3/B

This means that -A/B = -1/3. So, we have a relationship between A and B:

-A/B = -1/3

A/B = 1/3

B = 3A

Plug 3A in for B into the equation we had where -7A + 2B = 3:

-7A + 2B = 3

-7A + 2 * 3A = 3

-7A + 6A = 3

-A = 3

A = -3

Use this to solve for B:

B = 3A

B = 3 * (-3) = -9

So, B = -9 and A = -3. Then B - A is:

B - A = -9 - (-3) = -9 + 3 = -6

The answer is -6.
