The population of algae in an
experiment has been increasing by 40% each day. If there were 20 algae at the beginning of the experiment, predict the number of algae in 7 days.
First, complete the equation:
Future Amount = [?](1+[]0

Answers

Answer 1

The equation is y = 20(1.40)^x

where x is the number of days and y is the future amount after x days go by

The 1.40 is from the fact that 1+r = 1+0.40 = 1.40, where r is the decimal form of 40%, so r = 0.40

-----------------------------

Plug in x = 7 to get

y = 20(1.40)^x

y = 20(1.40)^7

y = 210.827008

y = 211

We round to the nearest whole number since it doesn't make much sense to have a fractional portion of an algae. After 7 days, there are about 211 algae.

What exactly am I doing wrong with the first one I’m doing the order of operation and I can get the second one no issues I can’t seem to figure out how to do the first one tho

Answers

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

(4+2)²

4+2=6

6²=36

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the expression:

[tex](4+2)^2[/tex]

Order of operations says: 1) Parentheses, 2) Exponents, 3) Multiplication/Division and 4) Addition/Subtraction.

So, add within the parentheses first:

[tex](4+2)^2\\=(6)^2[/tex]

Now square:

[tex]=36[/tex]

So our answer is 36.

Also, note that you apparently used the distribute property. The distribute property does not work with addition and exponents:

[tex](4+2)^2\neq4^2+2^2[/tex]

You cannot do this. This isn't correct. Instead, you must first add and then square.

Find a possible solution to the equation cos(x+2)= sin(3x)

Answers

Answer:

x = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that a & b are complementary angles...

Then cos a = sin b

We can also write sin(3x) as ,

[tex] \sin(3x) = \cos(90 - 3x) [/tex]

Substituting the value of sin(3x) in the question ,

[tex] \cos(x + 2) = \cos(90 - 3x) [/tex]

Cancelling cos from both the sides gives us -

[tex]x + 2 = 90 - 3x\\ [/tex]

Solving this eqn , x = 22

Verizon offers two billing plans for local calls. Plan 1 charges $30 per month for unlimited calls, and Plan 2 charges $11 per month plus $0.04 per call. For how many monthly calls is Plan 1 more cost effective than Plan 2?​

Answers

Answer:

Number of monthly calls = 475

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Plan 1 = $30 per month unlimited calls

Plan 2 = $11 + $0.04(per call)

Find:

Number of monthly calls, plan 1 better than plan 2

Computation:

Plan 1 (Cost) < Plan 2 (Cost)

30 < 11 + 0.04(x)

19 < 0.04(x)

475 < (x)

Number of monthly calls = 475

Water flows through a pipe at a rate of 9 gallons every 8 minutes. Express this rate of flow in fluid ounces per hour.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Rate = 8640 fl\ oz/hour[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rate: 9 gallon in every 8 minutes

Required

Express in fluid ounces per hour

Express rate as follows;

[tex]Rate = \frac{9\ gallon}{8\ minutes}[/tex]

1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces;

So:

[tex]Rate = \frac{9 * 128 fl\ oz}{8\ minutes}[/tex]

1 minutes = 1/60 hour;

So:

[tex]Rate = \frac{9 * 128 fl\ oz}{8 * \frac{1}{60} hour}[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \frac{1152 fl\ oz}{ \frac{8}{60} hour}[/tex]

[tex]Rate = 1152\ fl\ oz/ \frac{8}{60}\ hour[/tex]

[tex]Rate = 1152* \frac{60}{8}\ fl\ oz/hour[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \frac{1152*60}{8}\ fl\ oz/hour[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \frac{69120}{8}\ fl\ oz/hour[/tex]

[tex]Rate = 8640 fl\ oz/hour[/tex]

Write a polynomial that represents the area of the shaded region

Answers

Answer:

S = 1/2 . x^2 + 11/2 . x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

- Let S = the area of the shaded region

- From the figure we see that S = 1/2 the area of the rectangle

- The area of the rectangle is (x+5)(x+6) = x^2 + 11x + 30

--> S = 1/2 (x^2 + 11x + 30)

--> S = 1/2 . x^2 + 11/2 . x + 15

Find the value of y for which the value of 1.7y+37 is 14 less than the value of 9.3y–25 HELP QUICK

Answers

Answer:

y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

1.7y+37 is 14 less than the value of 9.3y–25

1.7y + 37 = 9.3y - 25 - 141.7y + 37 = 9.3y - 399.3y - 1.7y = 37 + 397.6y = 76y = 76/7.6y = 10

Answer is 10

Answer:

y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

10 x 1.7 = 17

17 + 34 = 51

10 x 9.3 = 93

93 - 25 = 51

Taila earns d dollars per week. How much does Taila earn in 10 weeks?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]10d[/tex] dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]d[/tex] is a variable, which is just a placeholder for an unknown value. Therefore, we can treat [tex]d[/tex] as if it's a number.

If you earn a certain amount of dollars per week, and you work for 10 weeks, then to find how much money you earn, you'd multiply the amount of weeks (10) by the dollars per week right?

Same logic applies for variables.

Since we have [tex]d[/tex] acting as a placeholder for the amount earned per week, then the total amount of money earned in 10 weeks is [tex]10\cdot d[/tex], which can just be represented as [tex]10d[/tex].

Mr Chong intends to purchase a few chickens, rabbits and ducks for his farm. The total numbers of animal is 50. He has RM1500 to be spent. A chicken costs RM20, A rabbit RM50 and a duck RM30. The number of chickens is equal to the number of ducks. How many of each animals should Mr Chong purchase? Write a system of linear equations to solve this problem.

Answers

Answer:

20 chickens, 10 rabbits and 20 ducks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let chickens be c, rabbits be r, ducks be d

Chicken cost = RM20Rabbit cost = RM50Duck cost = RM30

As per given  we get below equations:

c + r + d = 50c = d20c + 50r + 30d = 1500

Substitute d:

c + r + c= 50 ⇒ 2c + r = 50 20c + 50r + 30c = 1500 ⇒ 50c + 50r = 1500 ⇒ c + r = 30

Subtract the second equation from the first one:

c = 20

Then:

r = 10d = 20

So animals bought:

20 chickens, 10 rabbits and 20 ducks

2) You work in the tech field. Your boss has asked that you and your team design a new style phone with a 7" screen display. What are the dimensions of the phone if the aspect ratio is 16:9?

Answers

Answer:

dimensions of the phone are 7 inches x 12.44 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the aspect ratio of a display device is a proportional relationship between the width and the height of the display.

That is;

Aspect ratio = height/width

Now, we are given;

Aspect ratio = 16:9 or 16/9

Width = 7" = 177.8 mm

Thus;

16/9 = height/177.8

Multiply both sides by 177.8 to give;

Height = (16 × 177.8)/9

Height = 316.089 mm

Converting 316.089 mm to inches gives us 12.44 inches.

Thus, dimensions of the phone are 7 inches x 12.44 inches

The probability of a passenger choosing chips and soda will be 25%.

What is probability?

Its simple notion is that something will most likely occur. The favorable event's proportion to the overall number of occurrences.

A particular airline offers three free snack options to its passengers: cookies, chips, and crackers.

Along with the snack, passengers are offered two free drink options: soda or water.

Then the probability of a passenger choosing chips and soda will be

P = 0.5 x 0.5

P = 0.25

Then the probability in the percentage will be

P = 0.25 x 100

P = 25%

while on a beach vacation,Tasha makes a scale drawing of point of interest between two piers.On her drawing 2 cm represent 0.5ml. The piers are 12cm apart on tasha's drawing.What is the actual distance, in miles between the two piers?

Answers

Answer:

3ml

Step-by-step explanation:

while on a beach vacation,Tasha makes a scale drawing of point of interest between two piers.

Given that On her drawing,

2 cm represent 0.5ml.

The piers are 12cm apart on tasha's drawing.

To calculate the actual distance, in miles between the two piers, first divide the 12cm by 2 cm

12/2 = 6 cm

Multiply the answer by 0.5

6 × 0.5 = 3ml

Therefore, the actual distance, in miles between the two piers is 3ml.

Given equation: 3x-5 = 0

Add both sides by 5, we get
