Answer:

3.6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is

1/a+1/b = 1/c  where a and b are the times working along and c is the time working together

1/6 + 1/9 = 1/c

Multiply by 36c to clear the fractions

36c (1/6 + 1/9 = 1/c)

6c +4c = 36

10c = 36

Divide by 10

10c/10 = 36/10

c = 3.6 hours working together

a culture started with 4,000 bacteria. after 7 hours,it grew to 5,200 bacteria. Predict how many bacteria will be present after
serious [3.7K]
Start with trying to figure out rate (r):
P = i•e^rt
5200 = 4000•e^(r•7)
5200/4000 = 1.3 = e^7r
ln 1.3 = ln (e^7r)
.262 = 7r•1, because the ln (e) = 1
r = .262/7 = .0375
Now that you have the rate, plug in that for r and 9 hours as the new t, with again our 4200 as the i
P = i•e^rt = 4200•e^(.0375•9)
P = 4200•1.401 = 5,886 bacteria

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Transform the inequality to a line

     2x - y < 4

     2x - y = 4

2.- Find the x and y-intercepts

If x = 0,     2(0) - y = 4

                    0 - y = 4

                         y = -4              (0, -4)

If y = 0        2x - 0 = 4

                        2x = 4

                          x = 2               (2, 0)

3.- Do not consider graphs 1 and 2 because do not go through (0, -4).

4.- The answer is graph three because of the inequality "<", we look for the shaded region below the line.

Sarah makes cookies with 2 cups of white flour, 0.5 cups of azimuth flour, and 1.75 cups of whole wheat flour. how much total fl
statuscvo [17]
Total flour used = Sum of all the cups

Total = 2 cups + 0.5 cups + 1.75 cups

         = 4.25 cups of flour

4.25 cups of flour was used.

Hope this explains it.

Segment AB is tangent to T at B. What is the radius of T?
juin [17]

The value of the radius of T is 28 units

<h3>How to determine the value of the radius of T</h3>

From the question, we understand that:

Segment AB is tangent to T at B

This means that

<ABT = 90

So, we have a right triangle

Let the radius of the triangle be r

By the Pythagoras theorem, we have

AT^2 = AB^2 + VT^2

This gives

(25 + r)^2 = 45^2 + r^2

Open the bracket

625 + 50r + r^2 = 2025 + r^2

Subtract r^2 from both sides of the equation

625 + 50r = 2025

Subtract 625 from both sides of the equation

50r = 1400

Divide both sides by 50

r = 28

Hence, the value of the radius of T is 28 units
