Answer:

768 bugs

Step-by-step explanation:

You can rewrite this problem as a function as time where the bug population is f(x), and x is the number of days since the start.

f(x)=6*2^(x/5)

Here, the 6 represents the number of bugs that you start with, the two shows that they double every day, and the /5 shows that they double every 5 days.

By plugging in 35, you get 6*2^7, which is 768.

If the factors of quadratic function g are (x-7) and (x+3), what are the zeros of function g?

natulia [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. you set each expression equal to 0.

x-7=0 and x+3=0

2. Next you need to get the variable by itself so you would add 7 to both sides on the first equation and subtract 3 from both sides for the second one.

3. So your answers would be x=7 and x=-3. Those are the zeros.
