Initial number of Bacteria = Po = 1000
Growth rate = r = 6% = 0.06
We want to find the number of Bacteria after 5 minutes.

Using the given equation, we can write:

P= P_{o}e^{rt} \\  \\ 
P=1000(2.718)^{0.06*5}  \\  \\ 
P=1000(2.718)^{0.3} \\  \\ 
P=1350

Rounding of to nearest integer, the number of Bacteria after 5 minutes will be 1350. So option C gives the correct answer

Bridget needs an actor. Actor A is offering her services for an initial $250 in addition
Westkost [7]
$250 + 50x = $200 + 60x

Get like terms on the same side using subtraction
250 -200 + 50x = 60x
50 + 50x - 50x = 60x -50x
50 = 10x     now divide by 10 and get 5 days.

Let's check

Day 1  Actor A is $250 + 50 = $300  Actor B = $200 + 60 = $260
Day 2 Actor A is $250 + 100 = $350  Actor B = $200 + 120 = $320
Day 3 Actor A is $250 + 150 = $400   Actor B = $200 + 180 = $380
Day 4 Actor A  is $250 + 200 = $450   Actor B = $200 + 240 = $440
Day 5  Actor A is $250 + 250 = $500    Actor B = $200 + 300 = $500

I did the first one I need help on this that’s all
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

m<A = 70 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 deg. Add the three measures and set equal to 180. Solve for x. then use the value of x and the expression for m<A to find the measure of angle A.

m<A + m<B + m<C = 180

5x - 25 + 2x + 10 + 3x + 5 = 180

10x - 10 = 180

10x = 190

x = 19

m<A = 5x - 25 = 5(19) - 25 = 95 - 25 = 70

Answer: m<A = 70 deg

Which of the following numbers is not a perfect square?<br><br> 24<br> 25<br> 64<br> 100
stich3 [128]
Hi! 

A perfect square is the product of when a whole number is multiplied by itself

Ex:

6 × 6 = 36, 36 is the perfect square. 

The number that is being multiplied is the square root. 

So to find the correct answer for this question, let's use the process of elimination. 

100 = 10 × 10 so we can cross out 100

64 = 8 × 8 so we can cross out 64

25 = 5 × 5 so we can cross out 25

Now all we have left is 24, which is not a perfect square. 

Answer: A. 24

Hope this helps :)
