After a special medicine is introduced into a petri dish full of bacteria, the number of bacteria remaining in the dish decrease

s rapidly. The relationship between the elapsed time,t, in seconds, and the number of bacteria, B(t), in the petri dish is modeled by the following function:
B(t)=9,300•(1/64)^t

Complete the following about the rate of change of the bacterial culture. Round your answer to two decimal places.

The bacterial culture loses 1/2 of its size every _________ seconds.

Answer:

  0.17

Step-by-step explanation:

The function can be rewritten as ...

  B(t) = 9300·((1/2)^6)^t = 9300·(1/2)^(6t)

In order to multiply the number of bacteria by 1/2, the value of the exponent 6t must be equal to 1:

  6t = 1

  t = 1/6 ≈ 0.166667 ≈ 0.17

The culture loses half its size every 0.17 seconds.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answers:

  • Part A) There is one pair of parallel sides
  • Part B) (-3, -5/2) and (-1/2, 5/2)

====================================================

Explanation:

Part A

By definition, a trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides. The other opposite sides aren't parallel. In this case, we'd need to prove that PQ is parallel to RS by seeing if the slopes are the same or not. Parallel lines have equal slopes.

------------------------

Part B

The midsegment has both endpoints as the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.

The midpoint of segment PS is found by adding the corresponding coordinates and dividing by 2.

x coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (-4+(-2))/2 = -6/2 = -3

y coord = (y1+y2)/2 = (-1+(-4))/2 = -5/2

The midpoint of segment PS is (-3, -5/2)

Repeat those steps to find the midpoint of QR

x coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (-2+1)/2 = -1/2

y coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (3+2)/2 = 5/2

The midpoint of QR is (-1/2, 5/2)

Join these midpoints up to form the midsegment. The midsegment is parallel to PQ and RS.

"3. When we have two sorted lists of numbers in non-descending order, and we need to merge them into one sorted list, we can sim
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Since we extract n elements in total, the algorithm for the running time for K sorted list is O (n log k+ k) = O (n log k)

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand better how we arrived at the aforementioned algorithm, we take it step by step

a, Construct a min-heap of the minimum elements from each of "k" lists.

The creation of this min-heap will cost O (k) time.

b) Next we run delete Minimum and move the minimum element to the output array.

Each extraction takes O (log k) time.

c) Then insert into the heap the next element from the list from which the element was extracted.

Now, we note that  since we extract n elements in total, the running time is

O (n log k+ k) = O (n log k).

So we can conclude that :

Since we extract n elements in total, the algorithm for the running time for K sorted list is O (n log k+ k) = O (n log k)

Amy purchased a house for $551,000 and obtained a mortgage for $519,000 she purchased 3 discount points and 2 origination points
Olegator [25]
Discount points are normally a type of prepaid interests that lowers the interest on subsequent payments for mortgage borrowers pay.

Each of the points is given by:

1 point = 1% of the mortgage value.

Therefore,
Cost of discount points = 0.01*519,000*3 = $15,570
Cost of origination points = 0.01*519,000*2 = $10,380

In this regard, option B. is the correct answer on the cost of discount and origination points respectively.
