A population of bacteria is growing at a rate of 20% per hour. If the population starts at 320, what is it an hour later?

Answer:

384.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population is given by the expression;

Y(t) = Pr^{t}

Where;

Y(t) is the number of bacteria at time, t.

P is the starting amount.

r is the growth rate.

Given that, P = 320, r = 20% = 0.2, t = 1

Substituting the parameters into the equation;

Y(t) = Pr^{t}

Y(1) = 320 * 0.2¹

Y(1) = 320 * 0.2

Y(1) = 64.

Therefore, the population of bacteria increases hourly by 64.

An hour later; 320 + 64 = 384.

Tony separates a number of paintbrushes, x, into 3 equally sized groups. He claims that this is the same as making a group 1/3 t
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Size of each group = \frac{x}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of paint brushes = x

Since each the three groups are equally sized, to get the number of paintbrushes in a group, we will have to divide the total number of paint brushes by 3

∴ We have, number of paint brushes in a group = \frac{Total number of paintbrushes}{3}\\

= \frac{x}{3}

this is also the same thing as saying \frac{1}{3}×\frac{x}{1}

This shows that the size of the new group is the same as \frac{1}{3} the size of the original group

Angelica reads 15 pages of a book each day. In 10 days, she reads 200 pages. Assume the relationship is linear. Find and interpr
Phantasy [73]

Given:

Angelica reads 15 pages of a book each day.

In 10 days, she reads 200 pages.

Assume the relationship is linear.

To find:

The rate of change and initial value.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a linear function is:

y=mx+b            ...(i)

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Angelica reads 15 pages of a book each day. So, the rate of change is 15 pages per day and m=15.

In 10 days, she reads 200 pages. It means the linear relation passes through the point (10,200).

Putting x=10,y=200,m=15 in (i), we get

200=15(10)+b

200=150+b

200-150=b

50=b

So, the y-intercept is 50. It means the initial number of pages angelica already read is 50.

Therefore, the rate of change is 15, it means Angelica reads 15 pages per day. The y-intercept is 50, it means the initial number of pages angelica already read is 50.

(a) Find an angle between 0 and 2π that is coterminal with −19π10.
Katarina [22]

Answer:

\dfrac{\pi}{10}.

Step-by-step explanation:

All coterminal angles of an angle \theta are defined as

\theta +2n\pi or \theta + n360^{\circ}

where, n is an integer.

The given angle is

\theta=-\dfrac{19\pi}{10}

So, all coterminal angles of an angle \theta are

-\dfrac{19\pi}{10}+2n\pi

For n=1,

\Rightarrow -\dfrac{19\pi}{10}+2(1)\pi

\Rightarrow -\dfrac{19\pi}{10}+2\pi

\Rightarrow \dfrac{-19\pi+20\pi}{10}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{1\pi}{10}

Since,  \dfrac{\pi}{10}  between 0 and 2π, therefore,  the required coterminal angle is \dfrac{\pi}{10}.
