The equation that can be used to determine the number of cells after x hours is; y = 0.5x + 30.

<h3>Linear model Equations</h3>

It follows from the task content that;

  • The scientist starts with a sample of 30 bacteria cells, it follows that the intercept of the linear model is 30.

Additionally, since the number of bacteria cells increases by 50% every hour implies that the rate of change, slope of the equation is 0.5.

Hence, the required equation is; y = 0.5x + 30.

Answer: 0.0548

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, A research study investigated differences between male and female students. Based on the study results, we can assume the population mean and standard deviation for the GPA of male students are µ = 3.5 and σ = 0.05.

Let \overline{X} represents the sample mean GPA for each student.

Then, the probability that the random sample of 100 male students has a mean GPA greater than 3.42:

P(\overline{X}>3.42)=P(\dfrac{\overline{X}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}>\dfrac{3.42-3.5}{\dfrac{0.5}{\sqrt{100}}})\\\\=P(Z>\dfrac{-0.08}{\dfrac{0.5}{10}})\ \ \ [Z=\dfrac{\overline{X}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}]\\\\=P(Z>1.6)\\\\=1-P(Z

hence, the required probability is 0.0548.

A water taxi travels around an island in a path that can be modeled by the equation y =0.5(x - 16). A water skier is skiing alon
Eddi Din [679]

I realize that the equation is different, but do it in the same way, it'll help! It is given that the water​ taxi's path can be modeled by the equation y =0.5(x - 14)^2. ​Therefore, this is one of the equations in this system. Find a linear equation that will model the path of the water​ skier, which begins at the point (6,6) and ends at the point (8,-4). The slope is (-5). Use the slope and one point on the line to find the​ y-intercept of the line.  The​ y-intercept of the line that passes through the points (6,6) and (8,-4) is (0,36). Thus, the equation is y=-5x+36. Now, to determine if it is possible for the water skier to collide with the​ taxi, we have to determine if there is a solution to the system of equations. To determine if there is a solution to the system of​ equations, solve the system using substitution.​ First, write the equation that models the water​ taxi's path in standard form. y=0.5(x - 14)^2-->0.5x^2-14x+98. Use substitution. Substitute for  y in the equation and then solve for  x. As the expression on the left side of the equation cannot easily be​ factored, use the Quadratic Formula to solve for x. Do x=-b(plusorminus)sqrrtb^2-4ac/2a. Identify a, b, and c. a=0.5, b=-9, and c=62. Substitute into the Quadratic Formula. If there is a negative number under the radical, there are NO solutions. Thus, the path of the water skier will never cross the path of the taxi.

In conclusion: It is not possible that the water skier could collide with the taxi as the two paths never cross.

Please help i need to write out my work to so please tell me how to show it
Anarel [89]
For the first one write 9 divided by 2 gives your your radius an it’s 3.5. the formula is 2 x 3.14 x radius and that gives you 21.98.

the 2nd one is 2 x 3.14 x 9 = 56.52

the 3rd is 2 x 3.14 x 5= 31.4

formula is always 2 x 3.14 (or pie) x radius

to get your radius from your diameter you do your diameter divided by 2
