Answer:
Because we know for a fact that the line has a correct answer. Plus, if you choose a point on the line then it will not give you the visual side of which is correct and which is wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
It triples in size every 4 days. In 16 days it will be 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 times bigger.
3 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 81
Therefore, after 16 days, the colony will contain (81 * 150) or 12,150 microorganisms.
(5x+1)² = 7; expand: 25x² + 10x +1 = 7 or 25x² + 10x -6 = 0
Solve this quadratic for x:
x = [-b + √(b² - 4ac)]/2a and x = [-b - √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
Plug the values and you'll find :
x = (- √7 - 1)/5 (answer C)
x = (+√7 -1)/5 (answer E)
