Answer

It will take (t) = 24 hours to reach 300 .

Step by step explanation

It doubles every 15 hours.  initial bacteria = 100

We need to find how long it take for the bacteria cells to increase to 300.

300 = 100(2)^t/15

300/100 = 2^t/15

3 = 2^t/5

Taking "ln" both sides, we get

ln(3) = t/15 ln(2)

t/15 = ln(3)/ln(2)

t/15 = 1.585

t = 1.585 * 15

t = 23.78 hours

t = 24 hours to nearest whole hours.

Thank you.

The figure below shows concentric circles, both centered at 0.0
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

  C.  18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the sides of the triangle shown is 12 : 15 = 4 : 5. We know it is a right triangle, so we know the missing side length completes the ratio

  3 : 4 : 5 = 9 : 12 : 15

Half of XY is 9 cm, so the length of the entire chord is 18 cm.

_____

The chord is tangent to the inner circle, so makes a 90° angle with the radius to that tangent point. This tells you that the triangle shown is a right triangle. It also tells you that the short radius bisects the chord. The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the length of the side not shown (half the chord length).

The unknown side (a) can be found from  ...

  15² = 12² +a²

  225 -144 = a² . . . . . . subtract 12²

  81 = a² . . . . . . . . . . .  simplify

  9 = a . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

The chord length is 2a, so is ...

  2(9 cm) = 18 cm . . . . length of chord XY

A certain game involves tossing 3 fair coins, and it pays .14 for 3 heads, .06 for 2 heads, and .01 for 1 head. The expected win
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Total expected amount = $0.04375

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate probability of getting heads on every combination of coin tosses

HHH = 1/8 = 3 heads

HHT = 1/8 = 2 heads

HTH = 1/8 = 2 heads

HTT = 1/8 = 1 head

THH = 1/8 = 2 heads

THT = 1/8 = 1 head

TTH = 1/8 = 1 head

TTT = 1/8 = 0 head

So the probability of 3 heads is 1/8 and the amount is (1/8)* 0.14 = $0.0175

Probability of 2 heads is 3/8 and the amount is (3/8) * 0.06 = $0.0225

Probability of 1 head is 3/8 and amount is (3/8) * 0.01 = $0.00375

Total expected amount = 0.00375 + 0.0225 + 0.0175

Total expected amount = $0.04375

Jason is scuba diving at a constant rate toward the ocean floor. The equation
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Jason started scuba diving 5 meters below sea level and is descending at a rate of 2.5  meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason is scuba diving at a constant rate toward the ocean floor.

Equation: y= -2.5x- 5

x = The number of seconds Jason has been swimming.

y=The depth of Jason in meters  below sea level

General equation : y=mx+c

m = Slope = rate of change per unit

On comparing m = -2.5

Negative signs represents the descending .

So, rate of descending per second = 2.5 m/sec

-5 denotes the initial position below sea level

So, Option D is true

So, Jason started scuba diving 5 meters below sea level and is descending at a rate of 2.5  meters per second.
