7 0

Answer:

81 times the original size

Step-by-step explanation:

AA0ktA=3A0=?=?=25hours=A0ekt

Substitute the values in the formula.

3A0=A0ek⋅25

Solve for k. Divide each side by A0.

3A0A0=e25k

Take the natural log of each side.

ln3=lne25k

Use the power property.

ln3=25klne

Simplify.

ln3=25k

Divide each side by 25.

ln325=k

Approximate the answer.

k≈0.044

We use this rate of growth to predict the number of bacteria there will be in 100 hours.

AA0ktA=3A0=?=ln325=100hours=A0ekt

Substitute in the values.

A=A0eln325⋅100

Evaluate.

A=81A0

At this rate of growth, we can expect the population to be 81 times as large as the original population.

Is (1, 2) a solution to the inequality 6x - y> 3?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer we will put it into the equation, since x = 1 and y = 2 we will write it like this, 6(1) - 2 > 3. Since 6 x 1 = 6, we will now subtract 6 from 2 which equals 4. Therefore, the equation is correct because 4 is bigger than 3.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 and 4 are on opposite sides of the transversal but both on the inside of the parallel lines. This makes them alternate interior angles, which are congruent.

Find the radius of the circle if the center is at (1, 2) and the point (-3, 4) lies on the circle.

Anton [14]

Answer:

2√5

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius is the distance from the center to a point anywhere along the edge of the circle. To find the distance between these two points, use the distance formula.

$d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2} \\d = \sqrt{(1--3)^2 + (2-4)^2}\\ d = \sqrt{4^2 + -2^2}\\ d = \sqrt{16 + 4}\\ d = \sqrt{20} \\d = 2\sqrt{5}$
