Function f(x) represents the population of bacteria x hours after 9 a.m. What does f(2)-f(1) represent?

Answers

Answer 1

x = number of hours after 9 am (eg: x = 1 means 1 hr after 9 am, so 10 am)

f(x) = population count x hours after 9 am

f(1) = population count at 10 am (1 hour later)

f(2) = population count at 11 am (2 hrs after 9 am)

f(2) - f(1) represents the difference in population counts from 10 am to 11 am, or put another way, how much the population increased during that time interval.

Answer 2
Final answer:

f(2)-f(1) represents the change in the population of bacteria from the first to the second hour after 9 a.m., giving us the rate of population growth over that one-hour period.

Explanation:

The expression f(2)-f(1) in the function f(x), where x represents the hours after 9 a.m., illustrates the change in the population of the bacteria between the first and second hour after 9 a.m. Population growth in bacteria usually follows a logarithmic scale where it doubles every given time period, typically every hour. Thus, by calculating the difference between the population at the second hour (f(2)) and the first hour (f(1)), we can get the increase in the population of bacteria over that one-hour period.

An airplane climbs at an angle of 11 degrees with the ground. Find the distance it has traveled when it has attained an altitude of 400 feet. Using sin, cos, and tan.

Answers

Final answer:

The distance traveled by the airplane to attain an altitude of 400 feet is approximately 2164.8 feet.

Explanation:

To find the distance traveled by the airplane, we can use trigonometric functions.

Let's use the side opposite the angle as the altitude (400 feet) and the hypotenuse as the distance traveled.

Using the sine function, we can solve for the distance:

sin(angle) = Opposite / Hypotenuse

sin(11 degrees) = 400 feet / x

x = 400 feet / sin(11 degrees)

Using a calculator, we find that x ≈ 2164.8 feet.

Therefore, the distance traveled by the airplane to attain an altitude of 400 feet is approximately 2164.8 feet.

The distance it has traveled when it has attained an altitude of 400 feet is 2096.34 feet.

Given, Climbing angle [tex](\(\theta\))[/tex] = 11°

Altitude (opposite side) = 400 feet

sin(angle)= opposite/hypotenuse

sin(11°)= 400/d

d=400/ sin(11°)= 0.1908/400 ≈ 2096.34

The airplane has traveled approximately 2096.34 feet when it has attained an altitude of 400 feet at an angle of 11° with the ground.

What is the value of arccos (-1/2)

Answers

Answer:

120° & 240° (given the angles are between 0° and 360°)


Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find [tex]arccos(-\frac{1}{2})[/tex].

This means we want to know the angle(s) for which cosine has a value of [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

The basic acute angle that has a cosine of [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  is 60°. But we want to know NEGATIVE [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]. So in which quadrants is cosine negative? Second and Third

The rule to find 2nd quadrant angle with known acute angle is: 180 - αThe rule to find 3rd quadrant angle with known acute angle is: 180 + α

Where α is the basic acute angle (in our case it is 60°)

So 2nd quadrant angle is 180 - 60 = 120°

and 3rd quadrant angle is 180 + 60 = 240°

Answer:

120°


Step-by-step explanation:

arccos means the inverse of cosine.

arccos (-1/2) ⇒ We can rewrite this equation as;

cosФ = 1/2 Find the value of  Ф.

Ф = arccos (-1/2) ⇒ This can be calculated directly from the calculator.

arccos (-1/2) = 120°

or arccos (-1/2) = (180 + 60)

                         = 240°

You can have more than one value of arccos (-1/2) since the cosine is negative in the second and third quadrant.

Marcus has $28 to spend. He spent $3.75 to buy a notebook. He needs to save $11.25 but he wants to buy a snack. Chips cost $1.30 per package. Tax has already been included in the price. What is the maximum number of packages that Marcus can buy? Write an inequality that represents the situation. Then solve your inequality by showing your work and steps.

Answers

Total money Marcus has = $28

Money spent to buy a notebook = $3.75

Money left now = [tex]28-3.75=24.25[/tex]

Money needed to be saved = $11.25

So, the amount of money Marcus can spend = [tex]24.25-11.25=13[/tex]

Cost of a packet of chips = $1.30

The inequality to determine the maximum number of chips he can buy is:

Let the number of chips Marcus can buy = x

As he cannot spend more than $13 to buy chips so equation becomes:

[tex]1.30x\leq 13[/tex]

Solving this we get

[tex]x\leq 10[/tex]

Hence, Marcus can buy a maximum of 10 packs of chips and  save $11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

To get to know the graph with least slope, we have to write all equations in the form y=mx + c.

where m is the slope and c is the the y-intercept.

A. y = x + 6

For this equation m = 1

B. y = -x - 9

For equation B, m = -1

C. y = 2x + 1

In this equation, m = 2

D. y = -7x - 2

In equation D, m = -7

Answers

Answer:

Percent increase is 17.6%

We still have to pay 7.50 with the coupon

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent increase = (new- original)/original *100%

                             = (10-8.5)/8.5 * 100%

                             = 1.5/8.5 * 100%

                             = 17.6470588%

Round to the nearest tenth

                                 17.6%

This is an increase since the cost went up.

If we have 25% off, we still have to pay (100%-25%) = 75%

Simplified down by dividing by 4:

[tex]\frac{21}{25}[/tex]

Final answer:

To convert 84% to a fraction, divide 84 and 100 by their greatest common divisor, which is 4, resulting in the simplified fraction 21/25 representing the part of Astrid's books that are fiction.

Explanation:

To convert the percentage of Astrid's books that are fiction into a fraction, we simply write the percentage as a ratio out of 100 and then simplify it. Since 84% of her books are fiction, we start with the fraction 84/100. This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common divisor, which is 4 in this case.

84 ÷4 = 21
100 ÷ 4 = 25

Therefore, the simplified fraction of Astrid's books that are fiction is 21/25.
