and after 17 minutes there are 150 bacteria, after how many minutes will there be 10 bacteria
remaining?
When solving this problem, round the value of k to four decimal places and round your final answer to
the nearest whole number.

Answer 2

after approximately 137 minutes, there will be 10 bacteria remaining.

To find the time at which there will be 10 bacteria remaining, we can use the half-life model for exponential decay, which is given by:

N(t) = N₀ * [tex](1/2)^{(t / t_{half})[/tex]

where:

N(t) = the number of bacteria at time t

N₀ = the initial number of bacteria

t = time (in minutes)

t_half = the half-life of the bacteria

We are given that the initial number of bacteria (N₀) is 500 and after 17 minutes there are 150 bacteria (N(17) = 150).

Let's use this information to find the value of k (the decay constant):

150 = 500 * [tex](1/2)^{(17 / t_{half})[/tex]

Divide both sides by 500:

[tex](1/2)^{(17 / t_{half})[/tex] = 150 / 500

[tex](1/2)^{(17 / t_{half})[/tex] = 0.3

Now, we can write the equation as an exponent:

17 / t_half = log base (1/2) of 0.3

Using logarithms:

t_half = 17 / log base (1/2) of 0.3

Now, calculate t_half:

t_half = 17 / log base 2 of 0.3 ≈ 38.555

Now, we can find the time at which there will be 10 bacteria remaining (N(t) = 10):

10 = 500 * [tex](1/2)^{(t / 38.555)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 500:

[tex](1/2)^{(t / 38.555)[/tex] = 10 / 500

[tex](1/2)^{(t / 38.555)[/tex] = 0.02

Write the equation as an exponent:

t / 38.555 = log base (1/2) of 0.02

Using logarithms:

t = 38.555 * log base 2 of 0.02 ≈ 137.08

Rounding to the nearest whole number:

t ≈ 137

So, after approximately 137 minutes, there will be 10 bacteria remaining.

john had thrice as many stickers as Ken. After Ken had given away 12 stickers to his brother, John had 5 times as many stickers as Ken. How many stickers did John and Ken have in the end?

Answers

The number of stickers John and Ken have in the end is 6 and 18 respectively.

How to write and solve equation?

let

Ken stickers = xJohn stickers =3x

New stickers

Ken = x - 12John = 5x

x + x - 12 = 3x + 5x

2x - 12 = 8x

-12 = 8x - 6x

-12 = -2x

Determine x, the distance between the two cars.

Answers

The distance between two cars comes to be 4412.06 feet.

Find the attached diagram to visualize it better.

From the attached diagram

The Distance between two cars is x+y

The angle of elevation for the first car = 22 degrees

The angle of elevation for the second car = 65 degrees.

Height of the Goodyear blimp = 1500 feet

What is the tangent of an angle?

The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side of that angle.

So, tan 22° = 1500/x

So, x= 1500/tan 22°

x = 3712.63 feet

tan 65° = 1500/y

So, y = 1500/tan 65°

y = 699.46 feet

x+y = 4412.06 feet

So, the distance between two cars =  4412.06 feet

Therefore, the distance between two cars comes to be 4412.06 feet.

Compared with the graph of the parent function,
which equation shows a vertical stretch by a factor
of 6, a shift of 7 units right, and a reflection over the
X-axis?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

as I don't see any equations or graphs here I can only answer in general :

f(x) is the patent function.

g(x) is the transformed function.

g(x) = -6f(x-7)

the "-" reflects the curve over the x-axis (what was positive is now negative and vice versa).

the factor 6 stretches the curve up and down by the factor 6 (everything is now 6 times larger or smaller).

and the argument "x-7" relates x (for the new function) with "x-7", meaning that now things are happening at x, that were originally happening at x-7, so they happen now "later" (more to the right on the x-axis) than before - hence a shift to the right.

Drew and Beau each brought cylindrical water bottle to football practice. Drew's water bottle has a diameter of 3 inches and a height
of 7 inches. Beau's water bottle has a radius of 2 inches and a height of 9 inches. Whose water bottle holds more water and how much more does it hold? Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

The bottle that holds more water has the larger volume

Beau's water bottle holds more water

How to determine the bottle with more water?

The given parameters are:

Drew

Diameter = 3 inchesHeight = 7 inches

Beau

Radius = 2 inchesHeight = 9 inches

The volumes of their bottles is calculated using:

V = πr^2h

So, we have:

Drew = 3.14 * (3/2)^2 * 7

Drew = 49.46

Beau = 3.14 * (2)^2 * 9

Beau = 113.04

By comparison, 113.04 is greater than 49.46

Hence, Beau's water bottle holds more water

What is an inequality?

An inequality is an expression that shows the non equal comparison between two or more numbers and variables.

A shipping company will ship a package for $7.50 when the volume is no more than 15,000 cubic centimeters. Hence, if Grace plan as to spend a maximum of $7.50:

Volume (V) = (3x - 5)(2x)(x + 20) = 6x³ + 110x² - 200x

The inequality is:

6x³ + 110x² - 200x ≤ 15000

6x³ + 110x² - 200x - 15000 ≤ 0

x = 10

The maximum volume is at:

V' = 0

V' = 18x² + 220x - 200 = 0

x = 0.85 cm

Three times the sum of a number and 5:

3(C + 5)

Three times the sum of a number and 5 is 7:

3(C + 5) = 7

To solve

Use the distributive law:  a(b + c) = ab + ac

⇒ 3C + 15 = 7

Subtract 15 from both sides:

⇒ 3C = -8

Divide both sides by 3:

⇒ C = -8/3

Le the number be c

Sum of a number and c means c+53times that means 3(c+5)

Answers

Answer:   y = -x-2

==================================================

Explanation:

First we need the slope

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-4,2) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (3,-5)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{-5 - 2}{3 - (-4)}\\\\m = \frac{-5 - 2}{3 + 4}\\\\m = \frac{-7}{7}\\\\m = -1\\\\[/tex]

Then we can find the y intercept using the coordinates of (x,y) = (-4,2)

y = mx+b

2 = -1(-4)+b

2 = 4+b

2-4 = b

-2 = b

b = -2

Alternatively, you can use the other point (x,y) = (3,-5) and m = -1.

Because m = -1 and b = -2, we go from y = mx+b to y = -1x+(-2) which simplifies to y = -x-2
