Answer:

2.814 * 10^14

Step-by-step explanation:

For exponential growth:

A = A0*e^kt

A = final amount ; A0 = initial amount ; t = time

Since bacterium doubles ever half hour ;

In 1 hour number of bacterium will be 2² = 4

Hence

Final amount after 1 hour

4 = 1*e^k*1

4 =e^k

Take In of both sides

In(4) = k

Number of bacterium in 24 hours

A = 1*e^In4 * 24

A = e^24In4

A = e^33.271064

A = 281474976710656

A = 2.814 * 10^14

Solve this inequality: the sum of twice a number and four is at least 16
lesantik [10]

Answer:

x ≥ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for this is 2x (the sum of twice a number) + 4 (and 4) ≥ 16 (is at least 16

2x + 4 ≥ 16

subtract 4 from both sides (4 and 16)

you get 2x ≥ 12

divide both sides by 2 (2x and 12)

you get x ≥ 6

If an equation of the tangent line to the curve y=f(x) at the point where a = 2 is y=4x-5 find f(2) and f'(2)
vichka [17]
 hello : 
at the point where a=2   y = 4(2)-5 =3 (commun the curve and the tangent)
so :f(2) = 3
f'(2) =4 (slope of the tangent )

What is the value of x using the Pythagorean theorem?
Vesnalui [34]
A^2+b^2= c^2

Plug in the points. the longest side is always c.

95.2^2+ b^2= 168^2.

Square the numbers.

9063.04+ b^2= 28224

Subtract 9063.04 on both sides.

b^2= 19160.96

Find the square root. 

b= 138.423119456

Or, b= 138.4 (rounded down)

I hope this helps!

Find the area. See image below.
Burka [1]

Answer:

530 in ^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure given is a triangle

We use the formula for the area of a triangle

A = 1/2 bh where b is the length of the base and h is the height

      The height is perpendicular to the base( at 90 degrees)

A = 1/2 ( 26.5) * ( 40)

    = 530 in ^2
