A= -4.3

a+(-1.2)=-5.5
-5.5+1.2=-4.3
a= -4.3

hope this helps

It is a + (-1.2) = -5.5
= a - 1.2 = -5.5
= a = -5.5 + 1.2
= a = -4.3

In short, Your Answer would be -4.3

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Cells are divided into two cell every 20mins, this implies that the half-life is 20mins

Initial population growth is 60cells

Growth rate r?

Population growth is modeled as

P(t) = Po•exp(rt)

Where,

Po is the initial growth at t= 0

Po= 60

P(t) is population at any time t.

Since the population doubles every 20mins(⅓hr)

Then, P(⅓) = 2×60 =120

Then, P(t) = 120cells

So, applying the formula

P(t) = Po•exp(rt)

120 = 60•exp(⅓r)

120/60 = exp(r/3)

2 = exp(r/3)

Take In of both sides

In(2) = r/3

Cross multiply

r = 3In(2)

r = 2.079 /hour

The growth rate is 2.079/hour.

Answer:
after 7 minutes
19,600 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's the "pencil and paper" solution:
The two altitude equations are ...
y = 41300 -3100x
y = 2800x
They can be solved by setting the expressions for y equal to each other.
2800x = 41300 -3100x
5900x = 41300
x = 41300/5900 = 7
y = 2800·7 = 19600
The planes will both be at 19,600 feet after 7 minutes.

Find all of the points on the x-axis which are 6 units from the point (−1, 1).

anyanavicka [17]

All the points that are 6 units from (-1, 1) are those on the circle
(x+1)^2 +(y-1)^2 = 36

For y=0, the two points of interest satisfy
(x+1)^2 +1 = 36
(x+1)^2 = 35 . . . . . . subtract 1
x+1 = ±√35
x = -1±√35

The points you seek are (-1-√35, 0) and (-1+√35, 0), about (-6.916, 0) and (4.916, 0).
