Answer:

D. About 15.69 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours.

We have been given that there  were 2,000 bacteria present at the start of an experiment and the growth rate was 7% per hour.

Since number of bacteria is growing exponentially, so we will use exponential growth function to solve our given problem.

The continuous exponential growth formula is in form: y=e^{kx}, where,

e= mathematical constant,

k = Growth rate in decimal form.

Let us convert our given rate in decimal form.

7\%=\frac{7}{100}=0.07

Upon substituting our given values we will get exponential function for bacteria growth as: y=2,000*e^{0.07x}, where, y represents number of bacteria after x hours.

Since we need to figure out the number of hours it will take for there to be 6,000 bacteria, so we will substitute y= 6,000 in our function.

6,000=2,000*e^{0.07x}

Let us divide both sides of our equation by 2,000.

\frac{6,000}{2,000}=\frac{2,000*e^{0.07x}}{2,000}

3=e^{0.07x}

Let us take natural log of both sides of our equation.

\text{ln}(3)=ln(e^{0.07x})

\text{ln}(3)=0.07x

1.0986122=0.07x  

x=\frac{1.0986122}{0.07}  

x=15.69446\approx 15.69  

Therefore, it will take about 15.69 hours to be 6,000 bacteria and option D is the correct choice.

A'(-6, -10), B'(-3,-13), and C'(-5,-1) are the vertices of the ΔA'B'C' under the translation rule (x,y)→(x,y-3). This can be obtained by putting the ΔABC's vertices' values in (x, y-3).

 

<h3>Calculate the vertices of ΔA'B'C':</h3>

Given that,

ΔABC : A(-6,-7), B(-3,-10), C(-5,2)

(x,y)→(x,y-3)

The vertices are:

  • A(-6,-7 )⇒ (-6,-7-3) = A'(-6, -10)
  • B(-3,-10) ⇒ (-3,-10-3) = B'(-3,-13)
  • C(-5,2) ⇒ (-5,2-3) = C'(-5,-1)

Hence A'(-6, -10), B'(-3,-13), and C'(-5,-1) are the vertices of the ΔA'B'C' under the translation rule (x,y)→(x,y-3).

3. Which of the following quadratic equations has no solution? A) 0 = −2(x − 5)2 + 3 B) 0 = −2(x − 5)(x + 3) C) 0 = 2(x − 5)2 +
klemol [59]

Answer:

D) 0 = 2(x + 5)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of the following quadratic equations has no solution?

We have to solve the Quadratic equation for all the options in other to get a positive value as a solution for x.

A) 0 = −2(x − 5)2 + 3

0 = -2(x - 5) × 5

0 = (-2x + 10) × 5

0 = -10x + 50

10x = 50

x = 50/10

x = 5

Option A has a solution of 5

B) 0 = −2(x − 5)(x + 3)

Take each of the factors and equate them to zero

-2 = 0

= 0

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

x + 3 = 0

x = -3

Option B has a solution by one of its factors as a positive value of 5

C) 0 = 2(x − 5)2 + 3

0 = 2(x - 5) × 5

0 = (2x -10) × 5

0 = 10x -50

-10x = -50

x = -50/-10

x = 5

Option C has a solution of 5

D) 0 = 2(x + 5)(x + 3)

Take each of the factors and equate to zero

0 = 2

= 0

x + 5 = 0

x = -5

x + 3 = 0

x = -3

For option D, all the values of x are 0, or negative values of -5 and -3.

Therefore the Quadratic Equation for option D has no solution.
