Given that there were 30 bacteria present originally.
a=30
Also given that the number doubles every one hour.
After one hour the count =2×30=60
Since the count doubles every hour it forms a G.P. with r=2
a,ar,ar2........
The count at the end of 2nd hour=ar^2=30×2^2=120
The count at the end of 4th hour=ar^4=30×2^4=480
The count at the end of 8th hour=ar^8n=30×2^8=7680
etc.
The count at the end of n^th hour=ar^n=30×2^n
Also, the equation y=30*(2)^8/1 give the same result y= 7680
Answer:
x intercept of CD = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a line AB with its end coordinates. and Another line segment CD which is perpendicular to AB. We have the coordinates of C , and we are asked to find the x intercept of line CD.
For that we need to find the equation of CD
we have coordinates of C , and hence if we have slope of CD we can find equation of CD
Slope of CD can be determine with the help of slope of AB as CD⊥ AB
So, the slope of CD 
Hence we start from determining slope of AB
slope is given as
Hence 
There fore 
(∵ Product of Slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1)
Now we find the equation of CD with the help of slope -1 and coordinates of C(5,12)
Hence we have our equation , now in order to find the x intercept we keep y = 0 in it and solve for x
Hence the x intercept is 17
Answer:
1 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
First, Make the first fraction into a new one with an equal denominator. (3/4 x2= 6/8)
Then, subtract the whole numbers (2-1=1) and the fractions (6/8-5/8= 1/8)
Lastly, add your two differences together and you get 1 1/8.
In 5 years one California Palm tree grew = 85 inches.
Then in 1 year the California palm tree grew = (85/5) inches
= 17 inches
Again
A queen palm tree in 8 years grew = 96 inches
In 1 year the queen palm tree grew = (96/8) inches
= 12 inches.
So the California palm tree is growing at a faster rate than the queen palm tree. This is the easiest way of solving this kind of problems. Hope that i have explained the problem enough for you to understand and attempt such problems in the future without anyone's help.
