Answer:

800

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get the new population of bacteria in <em>690 minutes</em>, you have to know how often the bacteria will divided in the time frame. So, you have to <em>divide </em><em>690 minutes </em><em>by </em><em>230 minutes.</em>

  • 690 min. ÷ 230 min. = 3 times

The bacteria wil<u>l double its colony 3 times in 690 minutes</u>.

  • <em>First division:</em> 100 x 2 = 200 bacteria
  • <em>Second division:</em> 200 x 2 = 400 bacteria
  • <em>Third division:</em> 400 x 2 = 800 bacteria

Therefore, the population of bacteria will be 800 in 690 minutes.

Trying to find the missing segment to the triangle in the attached image.
Inga [223]

Answer:

44 units length

Step-by-step explanation:

The side splitter theorem states that if a line is parallel to a side of a triangle and the line intersects the other two sides, then this line divides those two sides proportionally. Therefore:

20/10 = x/22

20/10*22 = x

44 = x

Rationalize the denominator of sqrt -9 / (4-7i) - (6-6i) ...?
Colt1911 [192]
√(- 9 ) / (( 4 - 7 i ) - ( 6 - 6 i )) = 3 i / ( 4 - 7 i - 6 + 6 i ) =
= 3 i / ( - 2 - i ) = - 3 i / ( 2 + i ) =
= \frac{-3i}{2 + i}* \frac{2 - i}{2 - i}= \\ =   \frac{-6i+3i ^{2} }{2- i^{2} }= \\ = \frac{-3-6i}{2+1}= \frac{-3-6i}{3}=
= - 1 - 2 i
