Answer:

Part a) The number is 8

Part b) The initial number of bacteria is 4

Part c) y=4(8)^x

Part d) y=100(8)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential function is equal to

y=a(b)^x

where

y is the number of bacteria

x is the time in hours

b is the base of the exponential function

a is the initial number of bacteria

Part a) When comparing the "# of Bacteria" each hour, what is the number being multiplied by each time?

we know that

For x=1 h ----> y=32 bacteria

For x=2 h ----> y=256 bacteria

For x=3 h ----> y=2,048 bacteria

For x=4 h ----> y=16,384 bacteria

For x=5 h ----> y=131,072 bacteria

For x=6 h ----> y=1,048,576 bacteria

so

256/32=8

2,048/256=8

16,384\2,048=8

131,072/16,384=8

1,048,576\131,072=8

so

the base of the exponential function  b is 8

Part b) What is the initial number of bacteria? (at time zero)

we know that

The number of bacteria at time x=1 hour , divided by the number of bacteria at time x=0 must be equal to 8 (see part a)

so

\frac{32}{a}=8

solve for a

a=32/8=4\ bacteria

Part c) Write a rule for this table

we have

y=a(b)^x

we have

a=4\\b=8

substitute

y=4(8)^x

Part d) Suppose you started with 100 bacteria, but they still grew by the same growth factor. Write the function rule for this situation

In this case

a=100

b=8 ---> the growth factor is the same

so

y=100(8)^x

A six-sided dice is rolled twice. Find the probability that the larger of the two rolls was equal to 5.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The probability that the larger of the two rolls was equal to 5 is; 2/9

<h3>Probability of possible outcomes</h3>

The total number of possible outcomes when the dice is rolled twice is 36 outcomes.

Now, for the larger of the two rolls to equal 5, the total number of favourable  outcomes are 8 which are;

(1, 5), (2, 5), (3, 5), (4, 5), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5,4)

Thus, probability that the larger of the two rolls was equal to 5 is;

P(larger of 2 rolls equals 5) = 8/36 = 2/9

The area of a rectangle is length*width.

The length of this 3x and the width is 2x-3. This means that, to find the area, you need to multiply 3x and 2x-3.

Start by writing out this equation:
A=l*w

Then, plug in your given values:
A= 3x*2x-3 (you can also write it as A= 3*x*2*x-3)

Then, following the order of operations, you start by multiplying. This makes your equation become A = 6x^2 -3. (^2 means squared). It turns into this because 3 * 2 is 6 and x * x is x^2 and you still haven’t used the 3 yet.

After this, there is nothing more that you can do to simplify the equation. Therefore, the area is 6x^2 - 3.

I hope this helped!
