Answer:

56.42 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial sample= y0 = 800

After 13 minutes , amount = 320

Y= y0e-kt

320 = 800e-k(13)

320/800 = e-k13

0.4 = e-k13

In0.4 = -k13

-0.91629= -k13

0.07048= k

Y = 800e-0.07048t

Minutes when the bacterial present will be 15

15 = 800e-0.07048t

15/800= e-0.07048t

0.01875 = e-0.07048t

In 0.01875 = -0.07048t

-3.97656 = -0.07048t

-3.97656/-0.07048= t

56.42 = t

56.42 minutes

A bicycle wheel has a diameter 60inches how many rotations would it take to go 600 feet
hichkok12 [17]
First, we want to convert 600 feet to inches:

600 feet (12 inches/ft) = 7200 inches

We know that the diameter is 60 inches, so the circumference is 60π inches or 188.5 inches.
We can divide 7200/188.5 to get about 38.2 rotations.

The cereal box shown below is a rectangular prism. Find the surface area of the cereal box. ​
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

580 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of the front and back. 20*10=200

There are 2 sides with 20*10 ( front and back) so we can multiply by 2. 200*2=400

Then, the sides. 3*20=60*2=120

Then, the top and bottom 10*3=30*2=60

400+120+60=580

Solve the equation using square roots. x^2 – 14 = –10
zheka24 [161]
X^2 - 14 = -10
x^2 = -10 + 14
x^2 = 4....take the square root of both sides, eliminating the ^2
x = (+-) sqrt 4
x = 2 and x = -2
