Answer:

700 parts

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total amount of parts in the shipment, all we need to do is divide.

6% = 0.06

42 / 0.06 = 700

Best of Luck!

wo crafty bacteria fall into a pot of milk which has recently been sterilized. They reproduce at a rate of 4% per day. Determine
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Number of bacteria after 100 days is 1237.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since bacterial growth is a geometrical sequence.

Therefore, their population after time t will be represented by the expression

S_{n}=\frac{a(r^{n}-1)}{r-1}

Where a = first term of the sequence

r = common ratio of the sequence

n = duration or time

Since first term of the sequence = number of bacteria in the start = 1

Common ratio = r = (1 + 0.04) = 1.04

S_{100}=\frac{1[(1.04)^{100}-1)]}{1.04-1}

       = \frac{(50.5049-1)}{(0.04)}

       = 1237.64 ≈ 1237 [Since bacteria can't be in fractions]

Therefore, number of bacteria after 100 days is 1237.

Solve the simultaneous equations x2 + y2 = 10 and x – 3y + 10 = 0.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

x = - 1, y = 3  or     (-1 , 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x – 3y + 10 = 0              x = 3y - 10    ... plug in

x² + y² = 10

(3y-10)² + y² = 10

10y² - 60y +90 = 0

y² - 6y + 9 = 0

(y - 3)² = 0

y = 3

x = - 1

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (- 7, 0) and is parallel to the line x + y = 1
sweet [91]

Answer:

y = -x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel to each other, they have the same slope.

The first line is x + y = 1.

First, let's put this into standard form.

x + y = 1

y = -x + 1

Now we have an equation in standard form. Its slope is -1. A line parallel to this one will also have a slope of -1.

Plug this value (-1) into your standard point-slope equation of y = mx + b.

y = -x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, it is (-7, 0). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

0 = -1(-7) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x (-7)

0 = 7 + b

Now, subtract 7 from both sides to isolate b.

-7 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = -x - 7

This equation is parallel to your given equation (y = -x + 1) and contains point (-7, 0)

Hope this helps!

What is the Axis of Symmetry in Parabolas?
Gnesinka [82]
The axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex of the parabola. The x-coordinate of the vertex is the equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola. For a quadratic function in standard form, y = ax 2 + bx + c, the axis of symmetry is a vertical line.
