Answer:

3960.4 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to solve the above question is given as:

P(t) = Po (2) ^t/k

P(t) = Population after time t = ?

Po = Initial population = 650 bacteria

t = Time in days = 7.3 days

k = doubling time = 2.8 days

P(t) = 650 × (2)^7.3/2.8

P(t) = 650 × 2^2.6071428571

P(t) = 650 × 6.0929582599

P(t) = 3960.4228689 bacteria.

Approximately = 3960.4 bacteria

Therefore, the number of bacteria the researcher will have after 7.3 days if they started with 650 bacteria is 3960.4 bacteria.

Answer:

The set of numbers that could not represent the three sides of a right triangle are;

{9, 24, 26}

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Pythagoras's theorem, when the lengths of the three sides of a right triangle includes two legs, 'x', and 'y', and the hypotenuse side 'r', we have;

r² = x² + y²

Where;

r > x, r > y

Therefore, analyzing the options using the relationship between the numbers forming the three sides of a right triangle, we have;

Set 1;

95² = 76² + 57², therefore, set 1 represents the three sides of a right triangle

Set 2;

82² = 80² + 18², therefore, set 2 represents the three sides of a right triangle

Set 3;

26² = 24² + 9², therefore, set 3 could not represent the three sides of a right triangle

Set 4;

39² = 36² + 15², therefore, set 4 represents the three sides of a right triangle

Rob needs to mix 4.5 liters of liquid fruit punch concentrate with 0.5
Dmitriy789 [7]
4.5 litres of fruit punch with 0.5 litres of water.
13.5 /4.5 = 3. Multiply 0.5 by 3 to get 1.5 litres of water. Therefore, 13.5 litres of fruit punch concentrate needs 1.5 litres of water. 13.5 + 1.5 = 15 litres of fruit punch in total.

One day at 3:00 a.m., the temperature was -13°F in Kodiak, Alaska. At 10:00 a.m., the temperature was 22°F. What was the average
suter [353]
-13 to 0 = 13 degrees changed. 0 to 22 is 22 degrees changed. 13 + 22 = 35 degree change.

10-3 = 7.

So there was a change of 35 degrees across 7 hours

35/7 = 5 degrees per hour.
