The exponent symbol when typing is ^. so I so rewrite this for you.
(15x^8 / 24y^5) / (4x^4 / 8y^2)
I assumed you meant 8y squared because you said 8 squared.
now when we divide by a fraction, we can actually multiply by it's reciprocal and get the same thing. The word reciprocal really just means flip it over. so:
(15x^8 / 24y^5) * (8y^2 / 4x^4)
let's reduce the coefficients ( the numbers in front of the x and y) to make it easier.
We have 15/24 which can be reduced to 5/8
and 8/4 which is 2/1
so:
(5x^8 / 8y^5) * (2y^2 / x^4)
multiply numerator and denominator
(10x^8y^2) / (8x^4y^5)
now reduce coeffient. 10/8 is 5/4
reduce x: x^8/x^4 is x^4
reduce y: y^2/y^5 is 1/y^3
now put together
5x^4 / 4y^3
so C
3<em>x</em> ² - 2<em>x</em> + 1 = 2<em>x</em> ² - 3<em>x</em> + 7
<em>x</em> ² + <em>x</em> - 6 = 0
(<em>x</em> + 3) (<em>x</em> - 2) = 0
<em>x</em> + 3 = 0 <u>or</u> <em>x</em> - 2 = 0
<em>x</em> = -3 <u>or</u> <em>x</em> = 2
40 is greater because we can easily see that 1/4 is not a whole number that is less than 40 and the 40/14 will be changed into a lesser mixed number which again, is less than 40.
Let
represent the number of bacteria after
hours.
so
is the number of bacteria after 0/2 = 0 hours
is the number of bacteria after 1/2 hours
is the number of bacteria after 2/2 = 1 hours and so on
so if we list a few terms of this sequence, we have:
so clearly,
, the number of bacteria after
hours, is equal to
.
is the number of bacteria after
hours.
Thus, we calculate
, which is
.
Answer: the number of bacteria after 24 hours is
.
Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
140/350=0.4
0.4 x 100=40
