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.

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 14 + 4x - 8 + 2x + 18 = 180  {Angle sum property of tiangle}

6x + 4x + 2x + 14 - 8 +18 = 180 {Combine like terms}

                         12x + 24 = 180 {Subtract 18 from both sides}

                                  12x = 180 - 24

                                  12x = 156       {Divide both sides by 12}

                                     x = 156/12

x = 13

The Price family and the Jenkins family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Price family's spr
PIT_PIT [208]

Set up two equations:

1st:  P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours

2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters

Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J

Replace P in the second equation:

20(45-J) + 35J = 1200

Simplify:

900 -20J + 35J = 1200

900 +15J = 1200

Subtract 900 from both sides:

15J = 300

Divide both sides by 15:

J = 300/15

J = 20

Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours

Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.

Ok guys my friend is telling me that i am doing this problem wrong 4^4+1/2=256.5 and he is tell me that it is 16.5 am i right or
Alexxx [7]

Simplify 4^4 to 256

256 + 1/2 = 256.5

Simplify 256 + 1/2 to 513/2

513/2 = 256.5

Since both sides equal, there are infinitely many solutions.
