Let's say that the shorter piece is x and the longer piece is 5x (because it's 5 times as long). x+5x=72 and 6x=72. Dividing both sides by 6, we get that x=12, and 72-12=the length of the other piece (since there are only 2 pieces)=60

Answer:

d ≈ 5.7

Step-by-step explanation:

[Given] d² = 33

[Square root both sides] \sqrt{d^{2} } = \sqrt{33}

[Solve for \sqrt{33} and cancel out the square root + square] d ≈ 5.74456

[Round to nearest tenth] d ≈ 5.7

A population of bacteria is initially 2,000. After three hours the population is 1,000.
lina2011 [118]

The population starts at 2000, so a=2000.

We also know that the population in 3 hours is 1000, so we can setup the equation:

     2000 b^3 = 1000

This gets us:

    b^3 = 1/2

And taking the cube root of both sides gives us:

    b ≈ 0.7937005259841

Rounding that to 4 places, we have:

    f(t) = 2000 (0.7937)^t
