Answer:

$7.43

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve for what each of the 5 friends are paying:

130/5 = 26

Then, solve for what each person is paying with the addition of 2 people:

130/7 = 18.57

Last, subtract to find the answer:

26-18.57 = 7.43

There are 70,000 bacteria present in a culture. An antibiotic is introduced to the culture and the number of bacteria is reduced
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

24 hours after the antibiotic is introduced, the number of bacteria in the culture is reduced to 1093; The amount of bacteria present in the culture during the 24 hours after the antibiotic is introduced is an example of exponential decay; The function B(x) = 70000(0.5)ˣ, where x represents the number of 4 hour periods, represents the amount of bacteria present after the antibiotic is introduced.

Step-by-step explanation:

In any situation where an amount grows or declines by a set percent every time period can be represented using an exponential function.  Since the amount of bacteria is reduced by half, or 50%, every 4 hours, this is exponential decay.

Exponential functions such as this are of the form

y = a(1+r)ˣ, where a represents the initial population, r is the percent of growth or decrease, and x is the number of time periods.  In this situation, the initial population, a, is 70000.  Since the number of bacteria decreases by half, r = -0.50.  This gives us

y = 70000(1+-0.50)ˣ, or y = 70000(0.50)ˣ.

In 24 hours, there are 6 4-hour periods.  This means x = 6; this gives us

y = 70000(0.50)⁶ = 1093.75.

The table of values below represents a linear function and shows Marco’s progress as he is pumping gas into his car. What is the
german

Answer:

3 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Seconds Spent ----- Gallons of Gas

0 ---------------------------- 3

12 -------------------------- 5

24 ------------------------- 7

36 ------------------------- 9

48 ------------------------ 11

Required

Determine the output of the initial value

From the given parameters, we have that:

Gallon of gas is a function of time spent

This means:

The input is the time spent while the output is the gallon of gas

From the table above,

Initial Value = 0 seconds

The corresponding output of this is 3 gallons

Hence;

<em>Option C answers the question.</em>

1. The function f(x) = –0.05(x2 – 26x – 120) represents the path coming out of the cannon. If x is the horizontal distance from
LenaWriter [7]
Question 1

f(x) represents the distance of the cannon from the ground

Question 2

When f(x) = 0, there will two values of 'x'. The point on the positive x-axis where the graph crosses represent the point where the cannon hits the ground.

Question 3

Yes, it would. By knowing the spot where the cannon will hit the ground, we can set the net at the spot.

Question 4

f(x) = 0
-0.05 (x² - 26x -120) = 0
x² - 26x - 120 = 0

Question 5

Please refer to the table attached below

Question 6

The value of p and q that gives the correct factors are -30 and 4 since it gives p+q = -26

Question 7

Factorising the equation completely

-0.05 (x² - 26x - 120) = 0
-0.05 (x+4) (x-30) = 0 
(x+4) (x-30) = 0

Question 8
 
Solving the equation

x+4 = 0 and x-30=0
x=-4 and x=30 

Question 9 

The roots of the equation is x = -4 and x = 30

Question 10

Please refer to the third graph

Question 11

Yes

Question 12

The negative zero means the initial distance of the cannon, where it was fired from

Question 13

The distance between x = -4 and x = 30 is 34 units. If the cannon was fired from the point when x = -4, the cannon will hit the ground again 34 units from the point it was fired from. If Nik put a net 30 units from the firing point, the cannon will fly pass it.
