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

Write the equation of a circle for which the endpoints of a diameter are (-2,-2) and (4,-10)
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Therefore the required Equation of Circle

x^{2}+y^{2}-2x+12y+12=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

End point of Diameter be

point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -2 ,-2 )

point B( x₂ , y₂) ≡ ( 4 , -10 )

To Find:

Equation of a circle =?

Solution:

When end points of the Diameter are A( x₁ , y₁) , B( x₂ , y₂). then the Equation of Circle is given as

(x-x_{1})(x-x_{2})+(y-y_{1})(y-y_{2})=0

Substituting the end point are

(x-(-2))(x-4)+(y-(-2))(y-(-10))=0\\(x+2))(x-4)+(y+2))(y+10))=0\\

Applying Distributive Property we get

x^{2} -2x-8+y^{2}+12y+20 =0\\\\x^{2}+y^{2}-2x+12y+12=0

Therefore the required Equation of Circle

x^{2}+y^{2}-2x+12y+12=0

A square has a side length of p - 7. What is its area?
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

p²-14p+49

Step-by-step explanation: To find the area of a square just multiply side x  side. So (p-7)(p-7). Use FOIL or double distributive property to get p²-7p-7p+49 then combine the two middle terms to get p²-14p+49

An incoming MBA student took placement exams in economics and mathematics. In​ economics, she scored 85 and in math 89. The over
frutty [35]

Answer:

She did better on the math exam compared with the other students

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

We to calculate how many standard deviations from the mean she scored we need to use the following formulae:

(score - mean)/std

for economics:

(85 - 75)/8 = 10/8 = 1.25

for math:

(89 - 68)/10 = 21/20 = 2.1

Since she scored <em><u>1.25</u></em> standard deviations <em><u>higher than</u></em> the mean in economics and <u><em>2.1</em></u> standard deviations <u><em>higher than</em></u> the mean in mathematics, she did better on the <u><em>MATH</em></u> exam
