Answer:

C. 270 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is an exponential growth function which can be expressed using the formula:

P_t=P_oe^{rt}

Where:

  • P_t  is the size at time t.
  • P_o is the initial size
  • r is the growth rate
  • t is the time

Given the size at t=2 and at t=0, we substitute in the growth function to solve for r:

30=10e^{2r}\\\\3=e^{2r}\\\\r=\frac{In \ 3}{2}\\\\=0.54931

We use this calculated rate to determine the population at t=6

P_t=P_oe^{rt}\\\\=10e^{6\times \frac{In \ 3}{2}}\\\\=270\ grams

Hence, the bacteria's size at t=6 is 270 grams

Triangle ABC was dilated and translated to form similar triangle A'B'C'.
Hunter-Best [27]
Dilation refers to a non rigid motion where a figure is transform and its image has the same form but a different size measure.

On this exercise is asked to find the scale factor by which the triangle ABC was 
dilated to produce the triangle A'B'C'. 
Dilation is define by the rule (x,y)-- (kx, ky) where k represents the scale factor.

As can be see on the picture the dilation produce was an enlargement meaning that the image is larger that the preimage.
Of this form you can discard the choices A and B as possible solutions.

Lets try 5/2 as the possible scale factor:
(x,y)-- (kx, ky)
A(0,2)--(5/2(0),5/2(2))=A'(0,5)
B(2,2)--(5/2(2),5/2(2))=B'(5,5)
C(2,0)--(5/2(2),5/2(0))=C'(5,0)

Lets try 5/1 or 5 as the scale factor:
A(0,2)--(5(0),5(2))=A'(0,10)
B(2,2)--(5(2),5(2))=B'(10,10)
C(2,0)--(5(2),5(0))=C'(10,0)

As said at the beginning of the question the triangle was not only dilated.
After a dilation and a translation, the scale factor of the dilation is letter C or 5/2.

klio [65]

Answer:

Thirty-two percent of fish in a large lake are bass. Imagine scooping out a simple random sample of 15 fish from the lake and observing the sample proportion of bass. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution? Determine whether the 10% condition is met.

A.  The standard deviation is 0.8795. The 10% condition is met because it is very likely there are more than 150 bass in the lake.

B. The standard deviation is 0.8795. The 10% condition is not met because there are less than 150 bass in the lake.

C. The standard deviation is 0.1204. The 10% condition is met because it is very likely there are more than 150 bass in the lake.

D. The standard deviation is 0.1204. The 10% condition is not met because there are less than 150 bass in the lake.

E. We are unable to determine the standard deviation because we do not know the sample mean. The 10% condition is met because it is very likely there are more than 150 bass in the lake

The answer is E.
