Answer:

-|-8| is not the same as positive 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value is always positive, even for the negative numbers.

So in -|-8|, |-8| will be equal to 8, as the absolute value results in a positive number and thus the final result will be negative due to a negative sign outside the bars.

So, - |-8| = - 8

Thus this value is not equal to positive 8.

Numbers on right of 0 are positive. Thus 8 units to the right of 8 will be positive 8.

Opposite of a number has the opposite sign. So opposite of -8 will be +8.

A bacteria culture starts with 12,000 bacteria and the number doubles every 50 minutes.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

a) $y=12000(2)^{\frac{t}{50}}$

b) Approx. 27,569 bacteria

c) About 103 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

This will follow exponential modelling with form of equation shown below:

$y=Ab^{\frac{t}{n}}$

Where

A is the initial amount (here, 12000)

b is the growth factor (double, so growth factor is "2")

n is the number of minutes in which it doubles, so n = 50

Substituting, we get our formula:

$y=Ab^{\frac{t}{n}}\\y=12000(2)^{\frac{t}{50}}$

To get number of bacteria after 1 hour, we have to plug in the time into "t" of the formula we wrote earlier.

Remember, t is in minutes, so

1 hour = 60 minutes

t = 60

Substituting, we get:

$y=12000(2)^{\frac{t}{50}}\\y=12000(2)^{\frac{60}{50}}\\y=12000(2)^{\frac{6}{5}}\\y=27,568.76$

The number of bacteria after 1 hour would approximate be 27,569 bacteria

To get TIME to go to 50,000 bacteria, we will substitute 50,000 into "y" of the equation and solve the equation using natural logarithms to get t. Shown below:

$y=12000(2)^{\frac{t}{50}}\\50,000=12,000(2)^{\frac{t}{50}}\\4.17=2^{\frac{t}{50}}\\Ln(4.17)=Ln(2^{\frac{t}{50}})\\Ln(4.17)=\frac{t}{50}*Ln(2)\\\frac{t}{50}=\frac{Ln(4.17)}{Ln(2)}\\\frac{t}{50}=2.06\\t=103$

After about 103 minutes, there will be 50,000 bacteria

(a) Starting with the geometric series [infinity] xn n = 0 , find the sum of the series [infinity] nxn − 1 n = 1 , |x| < 1.

Mila [183]

Let f(x) be the sum of the geometric series,

$f(x)=\displaystyle\frac1{1-x} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n$

for |x| < 1. Then taking the derivative gives the desired sum,

$f'(x)=\displaystyle\boxed{\dfrac1{(1-x)^2}} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty nx^{n-1} = \sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}$

Answer the equation

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

x = -2, y = -4

coordinate: (-2, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations:

a) 4x - 7y = 20

b) x - 3y = 10

1. Make x the subject in the second equation:

⇒ x - 3y = 10 [add 3y to both sides]

⇒ x - 3y + 3y = 10 + 3y

⇒ x = 3y + 10

2. Substitute the given value of x into first equation:

⇒ 4x - 7y = 20

⇒ 4(3y + 10) - 7y = 20 [distribute 4 through the parentheses]

⇒12y + 40 - 7y = 20 [combine like terms]

⇒ 5y + 40 = 20 [subtract 40 from both sides]

⇒ 5y - 40 - 40 = 20 - 40

⇒ 5y = -20 [divide both sides by 5]

⇒ 5y ÷ 5 = -20 ÷ 5

⇒ y = -4

3. Find the value of x by substituting the given value of y into x = 3y + 10:

⇒ x = 3y + 10

⇒ x = 3(-4) + 10 [multiply]

⇒ x = -12 + 10 [add]

⇒ x = -2

4. Check your work:

a) 4x - 7y = 20

⇒ 4(-2) - 7(-4) = 20

⇒ -8 + 28 = 20

⇒ 20 = 20 ✔

b) x - 3y = 10

⇒ -2 - 3(-4) = 10

⇒ -2 + 12 = 10

⇒ 10 = 10 ✔

This system of equations has a solution at (-2, -4).
