A population of bacteria is treated with an antibiotic. It is estimated that 5,000 live bacteria existed in the sample before treatment. After each day of treatment, 40% of the sample remains alive. Which best describes the graph of the function that represents the number of live bacteria after x days of treatment?

f(x) = 5000(0.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0
f(x) = 5000(0.6)x, with a vertical asymptote of x = 0
f(x) = 5000(1.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0
f(x) = 5000(1.6)x, with a vertical asymptote of x = 0

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(x) = 5000(0.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is in the form

y = a b^x

where a is the initial value and b is the growth (or decay rate)

a = 5000 and b = 40 %

(If we have been given 40 % dies off we would have taken 1-40% or 1- .4)

y = 5000 ( .4) ^x

This has a horizontal asymptote at y = 0 because we will never get to 0 bacteria.  There will always be part of a bacterial left

Answer:

f(x) = 5000(0.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0

Chase plans to repaint some classroom bookcases. He has 1 4/7 ​ gallons of paint. All of the bookcases are the same size and each requires 1/3 ​ gallon of paint. How many bookcases will the custodian be able to repaint with that amount of paint?

Answers

The custodian will be able to repaint 4 6/7 bookcases with 1 4/7 gallons of paint because you have to divide the fractions 1 4/7 and 1/3. 1 4/7 divided by 1/3. You’d turn 1 4/7 into a mixed fraction, change the division sign to a multiplication sign, and flip 1/3. Now the equation is 11/7 • 3/1. Multiply 11 and 3 which equals 33 then multiply 7 and 1 which equals 7. The fraction you get should be 33/7 and then you simplify it and it becomes 4 6/7 which is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are multiplying the matrix by a scalar

Each term in the first matrix is multiplied by 2

We know that the determinant of a matrix when multiplied by a scalar is found by

det ( a A) =a^n * det (A)

The scalar in this case is 2  and n is the number of rows ( or columns) since the matrix must be square

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Steve works:

- 60 hour per week = 12 hours per day (60/5)

- first job: 3 hours per day = 15 hours per week

- x = second job hours per day

equitation:

1st option to calculate:

12 (total hours per day) = 3 (hours per day on first job) + X

9 = X

2nd option to calculate:

60(total hours per week) = 15 (3 hours per day x 5) + x

45 = x

please help geometry surface area

Answers

Answer: 159

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the surface area of two triangles and 3 rectangles

To find the surface areas of the triangles, we use the formula: base x height / 2

6 x 5.5 / 2 = 16.5

Multiply that by 2 since there are 2 of them

16.5 x 2 = 33

To find the surface area of the rectangles, we multiply the length and width

7 x 6 = 42

Multiply that by 3 since there are 3 of them

42 x 3 = 126

Add up all the surface areas

126 + 33 = 159

 If 2^x-4 = 4^x-6 , then value of x is?​

Answers

Answer: [tex]x=1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]2^x-4=4^x-6[/tex] is the equation that you've given us.

Now if we plot these two equations on the graph we notice there's an intersection at (1,-2). Therefore meaning that [tex]x=1[/tex].

We can prove that by doing the following calculations to prove that both sides are equal to each other.

The left side of the equal sign:

Step 1: Write the equation down:

[tex]2^x-4[/tex]

Step 2: Substitute x for the numerical value we found.

[tex]2^1-4[/tex]

Step 3: Find the square of [tex]2^1[/tex], which is itself, 2.

[tex]2-4[/tex]

Step 4: Subtract 2 from 4. Which is a negative number, thus being -2.

[tex]-2[/tex]

The right side of the equal sign:

Step 1: Write the equation down:

[tex]4^x-6[/tex]

Step 2: Substitute x for the numerical value we found.

[tex]4^1-6[/tex]

Step 3: Find the square of [tex]4^1[/tex], which is itself, 4.

[tex]4-6[/tex]

Step 4: Subtract 4 from 6. Which is a negative number, thus being -2.

[tex]-2[/tex]

We know that [tex]x=1[/tex] because when substituting x with 1, we get -2 on both sides. Therefore making this statement true and valid.

[tex]-2=-2[/tex]

125 + (a-b)³ help me​

Answers

Answer:

(5 + a - b)(a² + b² - 2ab - 5a + 5b + 25)

Step-by-step explanation:

125 + (a - b)³ ← is a sum of cubes and factors in general as

a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²)

Then

125 + (a- b)³

= 5³ + (a - b)³

with a = 5 and b = (a - b)

= (5 a a - b)(5² - 5(a - b) + (a - b)² )

= (5 + a - b)(25 - 5a + 5b + a² - 2ab + b²)

= (5 + a - b)(a² + b² - 2ab - 5a + 5b + 25)

Hey can someone help me figure out what 3/4(x-8)=12

Answers

Answer:

x=24

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4(x-8)=12

Multiply each side by 4/3

4/3*3/4(x-8)=12*4/3

x-8 = 16

Add 8 to each side

x-8+8 = 16+8

x=24

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially, you need to break this apart.

You need to isolate the x to figure it out with division or something.

To isolate, you need to get rid of the numbers around it.

To get rid of the 3/4, you can convert it to a decimal to make it easier, and then divide both sides by 0.75 to get rid of it on the x's side.

You now have

x-8 = 12/0.75

You can quickly punch the right side into a calculator to make it easier.

x - 8 = 16

You then add 8 to both sides to finish off the x, to get

x = 24

Given [tex]y = x^3 - 2x[/tex] for [tex]x \geq 0[/tex], find the equation of the tangent line to y where the absolute value of the slope is minimized.

I have tried taking both the first and second derivatives and setting them equal to 0 and using that as the answer, but they're incorrect. Could somebody please explain how to complete the question correctly? Thank you so much!

Answers

Answer:  y = (-4/3)*sqrt(2/3)

This is the same as writing [tex]y = -\frac{4}{3}\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}[/tex]

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

Explanation:

The phrasing "where the absolute value of the slope is minimized" is an interesting way of saying "the tangent slope is 0". This is because absolute values are never negative, so the smallest it can get is 0.

Your teacher has given you

y = x^3 - 2x

which differentiates into

dy/dx = 3x^2 - 2

after using the power rule

The derivative function lets us determine the slope of the tangent. The slope is the dy/dx value. Since we want a slope of 0, we'll set 3x^2-2 equal to zero and solve for x. So you have the correct idea, but you won't involve the second derivative.

dy/dx = 0

3x^2 - 2 = 0

3x^2 = 2

x^2 = 2/3

x = sqrt(2/3)

Notice how I'm ignoring the negative version of this root. This is due to the fact that [tex]x \ge 0[/tex]

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

Now plug this x value back into the original equation to find its corresponding y coordinate.

y = x^3 - 2x

y = x(x^2 - 2)

y = sqrt(2/3)*( 2/3 - 2 )

y = sqrt(2/3)*( -4/3 )

y = (-4/3)*sqrt(2/3)

Note that x = sqrt(2/3) leads to x^2 = 2/3 after squaring both sides.

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

Therefore, the equation of this tangent line is y = (-4/3)*sqrt(2/3)

All horizontal lines are of the form y = k, for some constant k. This constant value is basically what number you want the horizontal line to go through on the y axis. That number would be (-4/3)*sqrt(2/3).

The height and radius of a cone are each multiplied by 11. What effect does this have on the volume of the cone?

The volume of the cone is multiplied by (Blank 1).

Answers

The volume of the new cone would be 1331 times more than the volume of the original cone. Thus, The volume of the original cone is multiplied by 1331

The volume of the cone can be calculated by the given formula:

                       The volume of cone = [tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h[/tex]

where r = radius of the cone

           h = height of the cone

Solution:

The volume of the original cone= .......1

It is given that the height and radius of a cone are multiplied by 11.

then volume

= [tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi (11r)^{2} (11h)[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi (121r^{2}) (11h)[/tex] .........2

The change in volume of the cone after multiplying 11 to r and h would be

dividing equation 2 by equation 1

=  [tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi (121r^{2}) (11h)[/tex]/[tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h[/tex]

= 121*11

= 1331

Thus, The volume of the original cone is multiplied by 1331
