A scientist creates a colony of bacteria in a dish. This type of bacteria duplicates itself per minute.
If at 9am the experiment started with a single cell and at 9:13
the dish was half-full, at what time will the dish be full?

9:14

Step-by-step explanation: So if he started if 1 bacteria, it becomes 2 bacteria at 9:01, etc. So at 9:13, it is 2^13 and if that is half, that means 2^14 is when it is full so 9:14.

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
