The number of bacteria present in a culture at time t hours is modeled by the continuous variable N and the relationship N = 2000e^kt, where k is a constant. Given that when t = 3, N = 18 000, find (a) the value of k to 3 significant figures

A circle has the equation x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 10y - 115 = 0. Express the equation in the form (x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = k, and find the centre and radius of the circle.

Rearrange the equation so that the x terms and y terms bracketed together, like so: (x^2 - 4x) + (y^2 + 10y) - 115 = 0. Complete the square on both sets of brackets, giving (x - 2)^2 - 4 + (y + 5)^2 - 25 ...
