This is the concept of exponential growth, To get the number of bacteria after 10 days we use the formula:
f(t)=ae^(kt)
where;
a=initial number=5000
k=constant of proportionality= 0.04
t=time=10 days
f(t)=future number
thus the number of bacteria in 10 days will be:
f(t)=5000e^(0.04*10)
f(t)=7,459.12
The answer is 7,459.12

We know that the culture of bacteria has 5,000 bacteria today.
Also : p = 4 %  = 0.04, and t = 10 ( 10 days from now )
The formula is:
A = P * ( 1 + p )^t
A = 5,000 * ( 1 + 0.04 ) ^10
A = 5,000 * 1.04^10
A = 5,000 * 1.48
A = 7,401
Answer: There will be 7,401 bacteria.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

3x+\frac{7}{6}y

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression, we first open the parenthesis, then we collect all the like terms. Lastly we simplify the like terms to its simplest form. Given that:

\frac{1}{2}(3x-\frac{2}{3} y)+3(\frac{x}{2}+\frac{1}{2}y )\\\\Firstly, we\ expand\ the\ parenthesis:\\\\=\frac{1}{2}(3x)-\frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{3} y)+3\frac{x}{2}+3(\frac{1}{2} y)\\

=\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{3}y +\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{3}{2} y\\\\  Collecting\ like\ terms:\\\\=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{3}y+\frac{3}{2}y\\\\Adding \ terms:\\\\=3x  +\frac{7}{6}y
