Researchers recorded that a certain bacteria population declined from 450,000 to 900 in 30 hours at this rate of decay how many bacteria will there be in 13 hours

30,455

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential decay

y = a(1 - b)^x

y = final amount

a = initial amount

b = rate of decay

x = time

We are looking for the rate of decay, b.

900 = 450000(1 - b)^30

1 = 500(1 - b)^30

(1 - b)^30 = 0.002

1 - b = 0.002^(1/30)

1 - b = 0.81289

b = 0.1871

The equation for our case is

y = 450000(1 - 0.1871)^x

We are looking for the amount in 13 hours, so x = 13.

y = 450000(1 - 0.1871)^13

y = 30,455

∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.

step-by-step explanation:

given, a ∥ b and ∠1 ≅ ∠3 .we have to prove that e ∥ f

we know that ∠1≅∠3 and that a || b because they are given. we see that by the alternate exterior angles theorem. therefore, ∠2≅∠3 by the transitive property. so, we can conclude that e || f by the converse alternate exterior angles theorem.

we have to fill the missing statement.

transitivity property states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

now, given ∠1≅∠3 and by transitivity property ∠2≅∠3 .

hence, to apply transitivity property one angle must be common which is not in result after applying this property which is ∠1.

the only options in which ∠1 is present are ∠1 and ∠2, ∠1 and ∠4

∠1 and ∠4 is not possible ∵ after applying transitivity we didn't get ∠4.

hence, the missing statement is ∠1≅∠2.

so, ∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.
