A hot air balloon leaves the ground and ascends at a rate of 5 feet per minute for 4 minutes.

Mathematics

When the balloon is on the ground, it is at point 0. It starts to go up at 5 f/m for a time of 4 minutes. So we will multiply 5 by 4 to get 20. At this point, the balloon is 20 feet off the ground. However, we now know that the balloon descends at 2 f/m at a time of 7 minutes. So we must multiply 2 by 7 to get 14. So we know it was at 20, and then it went down by 14.

20 - 14 = 6 feet

This means that the balloon is now 6 feet above the ground.

I hope I've helped! :)

A researcher at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is studying the growth of a certain bacteria. He starts his exper
SpyIntel [72]

The population of the bacteria after 7 hours is 230 bacteria.

An exponential function is given by:

y = abˣ

where y, x are variables, a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplier.

Let y represent the population of bacteria after x hours.

Given that he starts his experiment with 200 bacteria, hence

a = 200

The bacteria grow at a rate of 2% per hour, hence:

b = 100% + 2% = 1.02

The exponential equation becomes:

y = 200(1.02)ˣ

After 7 hours:

y = 200(1.02)⁷ = 230

The population of the bacteria after 7 hours is 230 bacteria.

How do I find the quotient 2/5 divide by 1/4
Artemon [7]

Answer:

A. \frac{2}{5} \times 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\frac{2}{5} \div \frac{1}{4}

To find the quotient, we would multiply the first fraction (⅖) by the reciprocal of the second fraction (reciprocal of ¼ = 4).

This, we would have:

\frac{2}{5} \times 4

= \frac{8}{5}
