length of yeast as 0.0087 mm.

a) Which is longest? (Hint: Both must be the same units)

b) How much longer is the longer specimen than the shorter specimen?

Answers

Answer:

a) The bacterium is longer;

b) The bacterium is 0.1543 mm longer than the yeast.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to compare the length of the two beings we need to convert them to the same unit. We can do it either way, but we'll choose to convert from meters to milimetres, since we're dealing with small numbers. To do that we need to multiply the length that is in "m" by 1000.

[tex]length_{bac} = 0.000163*1000 = 0.163 \text{ mm}[/tex]

a) The bacteria is longer than the yeast.

b) We need to subtract their length in order to find this answer:

[tex]\text{dif} = length_{bac} - length_{yeast}\\\text{dif} = 0.163 - 0.0087 = 0.1543 \text{ mm}[/tex]

For addition and subtraction, use the standard + and - symbols respectively. For multiplication, use the * symbol. A * symbol is not necessary when multiplying a number by a variable. For instance: 2 * x can also be entered as 2x. Similarly, 2 * (x + 5) can also be entered as 2(x + 5); 2x * (5) can be entered as 2x(5). The * is also optional when multiplying with parentheses, example: (x + 1)(x - 1).

Answers

Answer:

2.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

after an hour the distance between them will be 80+70=150 miles

1 hour  .......150 m

x hours .......360 m

x*150=360

x=360/150

x=2.4 hours

Answer: 2.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = speed x time

1st train = 80t

2nd train = 70t

80t + 70t = 360

t = 360/150 = 2.4 hours

What angle measure is complementary to a 65 angle?

Answers

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add to 90 degrees

x+65 = 90

Subtract 65 from each side

x = 90-65

x = 25

The Definition of Complementary Angles states that if two angles are

complementary, then the sum of their measures is 90°.

To find the complement of an angle, we take 90 degrees minus the

measure of the angle which in this case 90° - 65° or 25°.

So the complement of the 65° angle measures 25°.

Answers

Answer:

AnSwEr Is C

Step-by-step explanation:

in khAN

The value  -16.5 tells us the displacement between his current position and his initial position.

What is displacement?

Displacement is defined as the minimum distance between two points. It is a vector quantity and needs direction with magnitude.

It is given that

Initial position =14.2 m

Final position=-2.3 m

14.2+(16.5)=-2.3

To understand this, we need to first calculate the displacement between his initial and final position

Displacement = Final pposition - Initial position

Displacement= -2.3-14.2

Displacement =-16.5 m

So: -16.5m is the total displacement from the start position (i.e. off the cliff) and current position (beneath the water surface)

If y varies inversely as x2 and y = 3 when x = 2, find the equation that connects x and y.

Answers

Answer:  y = 12/(x^2)

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

Explanation:

"y varies inversely as x^2" means y = k/(x^2) for some constant k.

Plug in (x,y) = (2,3) and solve for k

y = k/(x^2)

3 = k/(2^2)

3 = k/4

3*4 = k

12 = k

k = 12

The original equation updates to y = 12/(x^2)

As a check, plugging in x = 2 should lead to y = 3

y = 12/(x^2)

y = 12/(2^2)

y = 12/4

y = 3 ... we get the proper y value, so the answer is confirmed.

The equation that connects x and y, is,   y = 12/(x^2).

What is equation?

An equation is a  mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.  In its simplest form in algebra, the definition of an equation is a mathematical statement that shows that two mathematical expressions are equal.

For instance, 3x + 5 = 14 is an equation, in which 3x + 5 and 14 are two expressions separated by an 'equal' sign.

here, we have,

"y varies inversely as x^2" means y = k/(x^2) for some constant k.

Plug in (x,y) = (2,3) and solve for k

y = k/(x^2)

3 = k/(2^2)

3 = k/4

3*4 = k

12 = k

k = 12

The original equation updates to y = 12/(x^2)

As a check, plugging in x = 2 should lead to y = 3

y = 12/(x^2)

y = 12/(2^2)

y = 12/4

y = 3 ... we get the proper y value,

Which properties justify the steps taken to solve the system? {3x−2y=104x−3y=14 Drag and drop the answers into the boxes to match each step.

Answers

Answer:

Just took it!

Step-by-step explanation:

The requried properties used: the elimination method, multiplication property of equality, subtraction property of equality, substitution property of equality, and addition property of equality.

What are simultaneous linear equations?

Simultaneous linear equations are two- or three-variable linear equations that can be solved together to arrive at a common solution.

To justify the steps taken to solve the system {3x−2y=10, 4x−3y=14}, we need to identify the properties used. Here are the properties that justify each step:

Step 1: We can use the elimination method to solve this system. To eliminate the variable y, we can multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 2 :
{9x - 6y = 30, 8x - 6y = 28}

Step 2: We can subtract the second equation from the first equation to eliminate y:
{9x - 8x = 2}
{x = 2}

Step 3: We can substitute x = 2 into one of the original equations to solve for y. Let's use the first equation:
{3(2) - 2y = 10}

Step 4: We can simplify and solve for y:
{6 - 2y = 10}
{-2y = 4}
{y = -2}

Therefore, the solution to the system is (x, y) = (2, -2).

School would be starting next week and the fall plants were well enough along to allow Mrs. T. to manage the greenhouses herself. As Jilly worked the plants for the last time, she tried to focus on the new school year instead of the details of the greenhouse. It had been a hard, hot summer, but Jilly was not ready for it to be over. Jilly moved down the tables, tucking a stray hair behind her ear with a gloved and already dirty hand. She'd repotted the last of the rosemary plants and mixed a new batch of potting soil already. Mrs. T. now had enough potting soil to last her through September. Jilly looked at a couple of maiden-hair ferns that were beginning to yellow in their small pots. She loved their lacey fronds and had grown concerned over the last few days that they needed repotting or a boost of fertilizer. She had also worried that she would continue to find chores that needed doing, plants that needed help, right up until the minute she left today. She hated unfinished things. She hated details not being tended to. The sun had been above the trees and blasting the greenhouse for a good hour now. Jilly listened for the familiar whirr of the automatic vents opening. When the greenhouse reached a certain temperature, the vents would open automatically. The vents would have a cooling effect for an hour or so, and then no amount of breeze would put a dent in the heat. Mrs. T. often claimed Jilly must be part reptile as she was able to work longer in the greenhouse than anyone else. The heat just didn't bother her. In fact, Jilly often looked forward to the warmth of the greenhouse and feeling the heat seep into her bones. It felt good to her, but she understood others who found it hard to breathe in 100 degree temperatures. Jilly heard the greenhouse door bang, and looked up from her ferns to see Mrs. T. walking down the aisle with a tray of young plants. Mums, Jilly supposed, the flowers everyone wants for fall. She had helped Mrs. T. take cuttings and plant the small stems in new pots. They were doing nicely from the look of things. "We will keep these in here for now," said Mrs. T. "They are getting too much rain outside." It had been a rainy couple of days. Jilly knew, as well as anyone, that overwatering could kill potted plants quickly. "Do you remember when I overwatered those mint plants?" Jilly asked Mrs. T. "I used to think no one could kill a mint plant," Mrs. T. said, laughing. "Well I am full of surprises, apparently," Jilly replied. Jilly remembered the sad green plants that just kept looking more and more wilted no matter how much water she gave them. It was a beginner's mistake, and Jilly had been so embarrassed for making it. "That you are," replied Mrs. T. "But I know you learned a lesson you won't ever forget." "Of course. Herbs like their roots damp, not flooded," Jilly answered. "Well that is not the lesson I was thinking of," Mrs. T. said. Jilly wondered for a minute what the lesson could be. She straightened the rows of geraniums in front of her, picking up one or two to check for aphids under the leaves. It had been a summer full of lessons, some especially hard for a girl who thought she knew a lot about plants. She breathed deeply the warm, humid air. She hated the cooped up feeling of air conditioned air, the feeling of being cut off from the sun. She knew school and the library would offer only these uncomfortable feelings and little time to spend in the sun or with plants. She had come to understand this over the summer-her need to be around growing things was huge. "I'm not sure, Mrs. T." she said, "I've learned so much this summer. I couldn't possibly say what you are thinking." "You did learn many lessons, Jilly. You knew so much when you started. You've gone farther than any other assistants I've had. I will miss you."

"My hope for you, as for all my assistants over the years, is that you will learn as much about yourself as you do about growing plants."
