Width : Length

2 : 3

Perimeter = 2* width + 2*length

Ratio becomes:

Width : Length

4 : 6

Total units = 4 + 6 = 10

Perimeter = 40

Answer: Width is 8 ft and Length is 12 ft.

A scientist is growing bacteria in a lab for study. One particular type of bacteria grows at a rate of y=2t^2+3t+500. A differen

Leya [2.2K]

ANSWER

Approximately after 15 minutes.

EXPLANATION

The growth rate of the first bacteria is

$y = 2 {t}^{2} + 3t + 500$

The growth rate of the first bacteria :

$y = 3 {t}^{2} + t + 300$

To find the time that, there will be an equal number of bacteria, we equate the two equation;

$3 {t}^{2} + t + 300 = 2 {t}^{2} + 3t + 500$

$3 {t}^{2} - 2 {t}^{2} + t - 3t + 300 - 500 =00$

${t}^{2} - 2t - 200= 0$

We solve for t to get,

$t = 15.177$

$t = - 13.177$

We discard the negative value.

This implies that,

$t \approx15$

Answer:

x = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle to the right:

4^2 + x^2 = 8^2

16 + x^2 = 64

y^2 = 48

Triangle to the left:

x^2 + 6^2 = 48

x^2 + 36 = 48

x^2 = 12

x = sqrt(12)

x = 3.5
