Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

NEXT = 2 • NOW

Implies

a(n+1) = 2 × a(n)

a(1) = 10

a(2) = 20

a(3) = 40

a(4) = 80

a(5) = 160

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.

Find the perimeter of parallelogram ABCD with vertices A(–5, 6), B(2, 6), C(1, –2), and D(8, –2).
zavuch27 [327]
Since in A and B we have the same y value, 2-(-5)=7 and that's one side. For A to C (we connect A to C since they are both the ones on the left), we use the distance formula to get sqrt((-5-1)^2+(6-(-2))^2=sqrt(36+64)=sqrt(100)=10. Since there are 2 equal pairs of sides in a parallelogram, we get 7*2+10*2=34

I need help with the first two
mel-nik [20]
The work and answer provided are correct, the simpler way of doing it is

1)
1/6 page written in 1/12 of a minute
to write a full page, you would need to write 1/6, 6 times
so,
\frac{1}{6} \time 6 = 1
and
\frac{1}{12} \times 6 = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}

so it takes 1/2 of a minute to write a full page, there are 60 seconds in a minute, 1/2 of 60 seconds is 30 seconds

same process works for question 2(use 3 instead of 6 though)
