Let's say the number of bacteria you initially have is "a."  The number of bacteria doubles every twelve minutes, which means that it doubles 5 times in an hour.  You have(2)(2)(2)(2)(2)a=a∗2^5=32a at the end of the hour.  You started out with only a.  This means your ratio is 32a/a = 32.

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the number of bacteria at the initial time.

At 12 minutes = 2 X

At 24 minutes = 4X

At 36 minutes = 8X

At 48 minutes = 16X

At 60 minutes = 32X

The ratio between the final and the initial instant will be: 32X / X = 32

A. How does part 1 of the graph compare
frutty [35]

Answer:

We have the graph of position vs time (as you know, the derivatives of this graph are equivalent to the velocity, so the slope in each part of the graph is equal to the velocity of the car in that part, as steeper is the slope, larger is the velocity, and if the slope is positive, the velocity is positive, if the slope is negative, the velocity is negative)

A) Part 1 and part 2.

You can see that part 1 is a bit steeper than part 2, this means that in part 1 the velocity of the car is larger than in part 2.

B) Part 8 and part 9.

You can see that part 9 is steeper than part 8, meaning that the speed is larger in part 9 (in both parts the velocity is negative)

C) part 3, part 5 and part 7.

In these 3 parts we have a line parallel to the x-axis, this means that the velocity is zero in those 3 parts, but the position is different.

D) part 4 and part 6.

Part 4 is steeper than part 6, and part 4 has a positive slope while part 6 has a negative slope.

So the speed in part 4 is larger, and the sign of the velocity is different in each part, in part 4 we have positive velocity and in part 6 we have negative velocity.

What is the solution to the linear equation?
garri49 [273]

QUESTION 1

We want to solve the linear equation,

–12 + 3b – 1 = –5 – b

Group similar terms:

3b+b=-5+1+12

Combine similar terms,

4b=8

Divide both sides by 4

b=2.

QUESTION 2

We want to find the equation of the given line that passes through

(-3,2) and (2,-1)

The slope of this line is

m =  \frac{ - 1 - 2}{2 -  - 3}  =  -  \frac{3}{5}

The equation is given by the formula:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1).

We plug in the known values to obtain;

y  + 1= -  \frac{3}{5} (x- 2)

y  + 1= -  \frac{3}{5} (x  - 2)

5y  + 5 =  - 3x  + 6

3x + 5y = 1

How is this question done?
svp [43]
A=(l)(w)
a= (x+7)(x+9)
(distribute)
a= x^2 + 9x + 7x+ 63
a= x^2 + 16x + 63

Juan always saves the same amount from his weekly allowance. This table shows how much he has saved in dollars at different time
aev [14]
Try putting the coronets (0,10) on the chart.

I got that by trying to figure out how they got $19 on week three, and I estimated that on week zero he had $10 to start out with.

So I tried 10 + 3 = $13 for week day one, 13 + 3 = $16 for week two, and 16 + 3 = $19 for week three. Which means I was correct in assuming that Juan had $10 to start out with.

(I'm sorry if my explanation wasn't clear enough, I'm very not good at math or explaining things, but I'm sure that this answer is correct... My 'strategy' to get said answer probably won't work well with other questions, though.)
