So first of all you need to plug in the x=8 into both equations which will make the first equation be equals to 44 than plug in the x into the second equation and you will get 4 over -1 so in my opinion it should be b=44
ANSWER
Approximately after 15 minutes.
EXPLANATION
The growth rate of the first bacteria is

The growth rate of the first bacteria :

To find the time that, there will be an equal number of bacteria, we equate the two equation;



We solve for t to get,

Or

We discard the negative value.
This implies that,

Given:
The matrix multiplication

To find:
The order of resulting matrix.
Solution:
We know that, if order of first matrix is
and the order of second matrix is
, then the order of these two matrices is
.
We have,

Here, the order of first matrix is
and the order of the second matrix is
. So, the order of the second matrix is
. It is also written are 2 by 1.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
Answer:
Answer should be 1/4, since it's not there I would suggest 1/2.
