In a laboratory, the number of bacteria in a petri dish after t days is modeled by the function B (t) = 300,000/1+999e^-0.5t What does 300,000 represent? initial number of bacteria in the petri dish
number of bacteria in the petri dish after one day
number of bacteria in the petri dish at any given time
maximum number of the bacteria the petri dish can hold

Rewrite the following quadratic functions in intercept or factored form. show your work. y = 5x^2 + 10x

Use the spider tool located on page 1 of this activity to draw a 12-pointed star for the new logo. (hint: if the spider rotates 360 degrees -- or 720 degrees or 1080 degrees -- she will be facing in the same direction in which she started. when the spider is done drawing, you want her to be facing in the same direction in which she started. she'll be making 12 rotations, all the same size, so each rotation must be some multiple of 360/12 = 30 degrees.) urgently. been stuck on this problem for around 45 minutes now.! it should be easy if you're smart enough

(b) suppose that consolidated power decides to use a level of significance of α = .05, and suppose a random sample of 100 temperature readings is obtained. if the sample mean of the 100 temperature readings is x⎯⎯ = 60.990, test h0 versus ha and determine whether the power plant should be shut down and the cooling system repaired. perform the hypothesis test by using a critical value and a p-value. assume σ = 5. (round your z to 2 decimal places and p-value to 4 decimal places.)
