A scientist illegally introduces new species of honey bees in their labs. The growth of the population of this new species is modeled by the equation below, where x is the time in weeks following the introduction of the species. If the lab contains 450 bacteria after 2 weeks, how many bacteria did the scientist initially create? A,30
b.40
c.50
d.60

Two fire-lookout stations are 190 miles apart, with station a directly south of station b. both stations spot a fire. the bearing of the fire from station a is upper n 55 degrees upper e and the bearing of the fire from station b is upper s 60 degrees e. how far, to the nearest tenth of a mile, is the fire from each lookout station?

Aspacecraft can attain a stable orbit 300 kilometers above earth if it reaches a velocity of 7.7 kilometers per second. the formula for a rocket's maximum velocity v in kilometers per second is vequalsminus0.0098tplusc ln upper r, where t is the firing time in seconds, c is the velocity of the exhaust in kilometers per second, and r is the ratio of the mass of the rocket filled with fuel to the mass of the rocket without fuel. find the velocity of a spacecraft whose booster rocket has a mass ratio of 20, an exhaust velocity of 2.1 km/s, and a firing time of 15 s. can the spacecraft achieve a stable orbit 300 km above earth?
