Answer:

5,31,616 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Here, Principal (P) = 5,06,000, Rate of Interest (R) = 2.5%, Time (n) = 2 hours

After 2 hours, number of bacteria,

Amount (A) = P\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^nP(1+100R)n

= 506000\left(1+\frac{2.5}{100}\right)^2506000(1+1002.5)2

= 506000\left(1+\frac{25}{1000}\right)^2506000(1+100025)2

= 506000\left(1+\frac{1}{40}\right)^2506000(1+401)2

= 506000\left(\frac{41}{40}\right)^2506000(4041)2

= 506000\times\frac{41}{40}\times\frac{41}{40}506000×4041×4041

= 5,31,616.25

Hence, number of bacteria after two hours are 531616 (approx.).

What is the first term of the geometric sequence presented in the table below?
Leto [7]
Fron the table given:

A3 = 112,
A8 = - 3,584

An = A1 *r ^ (n-1)

=> A3 = A1 (r^2) = 112

A8 = A1(r^7) = - 3,584

=> - 3584 / 112 = (r^7) / (r^2)

=> (r^5) = - 32

=> r = - 2

=> A1 (- 2)^2 = 112

=> A1 = 112 / 4 = 28

Answer: a1 = 28

andrew-mc [135]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180.

So we can set up an equation

3/2x+1/2x+x= 180

3/2+1/2x+2/2x=180

3x+1x+2x=360

6x=360

x=60
