Answer:

They are only equal on day 0, both having 10 population.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the bacteria on the counter is initially measured at 5 and doubles every 3 days we can generate the following geometric equation:

f(x)=10*2^{\frac{x}{3} }

Given the bacteria on the stove is measured at 10 and doubles every 4 days we can create another equation:

f(x)=10*2^{\frac{x}{4} }

To find how many days it will take for the bacteria population to equal the same lets set both equations equal to eachother:

10*2^{x/3}=10*2^{x/4}

Divide both sides by 10

2^{x/3}=2^{x/4}

Since both exponents have the same base we can set the exponents equal to eachother and solve for x:

\frac{x}{3}=\frac{x}{4}

Multiply both sides by 3 to isolate x on the left side

x=\frac{3x}{4}

Multiply both sides by 4 to remove fraction

4x=3x

Subtract 3x to isolate x on the left side

x=0

Plug x into one of our original equations

f(0)=10*2^{0/3}

Solve

f(0)=10

If two sides in one triangle are 9 and 21 , then the third side might be
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a rule that says that if you add any 2 sides, it should be more than the third. 9+21 is greater than 13. 21+13 is greater than 9. 13 is the only number which if you add 9 to it it will be greater than 21. 12 will equal 21, but it still wont work.

hope this helps :))
