5 x 3²⁴ bacteria will there be after one day.
What is exponents?
Exponentiation could be a calculation, written as bⁿ, involving 2 numbers, the bottom b and also the exponent or power n, and pronounced as "b to the n".
Consider what is actually happening in the question.
You begin with 5 bacteria, and after 1 hour it has tripled so you now have
5x 3=15.
Next hour, it triples again so you now have 5 x 3 x 3=45
You can see the pattern shows that the number of bacteria is multiplying every hour by a factor of 3. An exponent denotes how many times we are multiplying a number by itself, for example: 3⁴ means we are multiplying the number 3 a total of 4 times (3 x 3 x 3 x 3).
Therefore the question is requiring us to triple the number of bacteria every hour for 24 hours, which means we are multiplying by 3 a total of 24 times. This gives us:
n x 324 where n is the number of bacteria you begin with.
Since you begin with 1 bacteria, the solution is 5 x 3²⁴.
Hence 5 x 3²⁴ bacteria will there be after one day.

first, you would rearrange the equation so that like terms were next to each other.
7y - 5y - x2 + 2x2 +3x - 17x
then you would reduce the equation based on like terms
2y + x2 - 14x
then simply rearrange the equation to get the answer, which is <u>B</u>
39/40 as a decimal is 0.975
3(x + 7) = 9(x - 1)
3(x) + 3(7) = 9(x) - 9(1)
3x + 21 = 9x - 9
<u>- 3x - 3x </u>
21 = 3x - 9
<u>+ 9 + 9</u>
<u>30</u> = <u>3x</u>
