The true statement is that colony 2 will always have more bacteria than colony 1 after 4 months

<h3>How to determine the number of months?</h3>

The functions are given as:

Colony 1: f(x) = x^2
Colony 2: g(x) = 2^x

When colony 2 has more bacteria than colony 1, then it means that:

g(x) >f(x)

Substitute the function values

2^x > x^2

From the graph of both functions, we have:

2^x > x^2 at x >4

This means that colony 2 will always have more bacteria than colony 1 after 4 months

In a parallelogram, if the measure of y is 32 degrees what is the measure of w

alekssr [168]

Talking about a parallelogram, we know that:
opposite sides and angles are congruent
in the picture below:
∠A = ∠C
AD = BC
if one angle is right, then the rest are right as well (making it a rectangle/square)
The consecutive angles are supplementary (meaning they add up to 180)
A + D = 180°

If y and w are consecutive angles, then
w = 180 - 32
=148°
If they are opposite angles, w = 32° (congruent angles)
