Answer:
B has a smaller initial population of 500
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for complete question
Required
The bacteria with the smaller initial population
The initial population is at x = 0
For bacteria A;
when 
For bacteria B, we have:

Substitute 0 for x



So; when x = 0
and 
Because; 500 < 600
We can conclude that B has a smaller initial population of 500
Answer:
0.3
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition: 30% = 30/100 = 0.3
If you factor the equation you can see what the solutions are. Two factor a quadratic of the form ax^2+bx+c, find two values which satisfy two conditions...
jk=ac=-15 and j+k=b=-2 so j and k must be -5 and 3 so the factors are:
(x-5)(x+3)
So the other solution is x=5
