Ok so the equation would be
amount = number of bacteria originaly *optional* × 2^(number of minutes divided by 10)
It's the number of minutes divided by 10 because it doubles every 10 minutes.
So if it took two hours for all of it to fill, it would've been 120 minutes so 12 10 minutes.
2^12
So half of that would be 60
I think it takes an hour if you divide it --- the rest is just extra calculation

If f Subscript x​(a,b)equals f Subscript y​(a,b)equals​0, does it follow that f has a local maximum or local minimum at​ (a,b)?
Anna [14]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point must be a critical point but it could be a saddle point. If the point is a saddle point it would not be neither a maximum nor a minimum. So it must be critical but it does not follow directly that it has a local maximum or local minimum.

Therefore D. (a,b) would be a candidate, but is not necessarily a maximum or minimum. It could be a saddle.

Use two points to enter an equation for the function. Give your answer in the form a(b)^n. In the event that a = 1, give your an
levacccp [35]

Answer:

m(n) = 24 (0.75)^n

Step-by-step explanation:

1) <u>The two points are</u>:

a) On the first swing she swings forward by 18 degrees: <em>(1, 18)</em>

b) On the second swing she only comes 13.5 degrees forward: <em>(2,13.5)</em>

2) <u>The general equation using the form given is</u>:

m(n)=A(B)^n

3) <u>Substitute the two points</u>:

18=A(B)\\ \\ 13.5=A(B)^2

4) <u>Divide the second equation by the first one</u>:

⇒ 13.5 / 18 = B

⇒ B = 0.75

5) <u>Substitue B = 0.75 into the first equation</u>:

18 = A (0.75) ⇒ A = 18 / 0.75 = 24

Hence, the equation is:

m(n) = 24 (0.75)^n
