Answer:

160 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create an exponential function of the form: y=ab^{x-1}, where a is the initial value, b is the rate, and x is the time.

Here, a = 10 and b = 2, so our equation is:

y=ab^{x-1}

y=10*2^{x-1}

We want the number of bacteria present after the fifth hour, or when x = 5, so we have:

y=10*2^{x-1}

y=10*2^{5-1}=10*2^{4}=10*16=160

There were 160 bacteria.

The roots of the quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0 are

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.

Here the given quadratic equation is 5x^2-13x+7=0. Here a=5,b=-13,c=7.

The roots are

x=\frac{13 \pm \sqrt{13^2-4*5*7}}{2*5} \\ x=\frac{13 \pm \sqrt{29}}{10}
