A population of bacteria is treated with an antibiotic. It is estimated that 5,000 live bacteria existed in the sample before tr

eatment. After each day of treatment, 40% of the sample remains alive. Which best describes the graph of the function that represents the number of live bacteria after x days of treatment? f(x) = 5000(0.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0 f(x) = 5000(0.6)x, with a vertical asymptote of x = 0 f(x) = 5000(1.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0 f(x) = 5000(1.6)x, with a vertical asymptote of x = 0 Mark this and return

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step by step explanation:

The exponential function is defined as

Where, a is initial value and b is growth factor or decay factor.

The initial population of bacteria is 5000.

After each day of treatment, 40% of the sample remains alive. It means the growth factor or decay factor is

Therefore the required function is

The horizontal asymptote is y=0 because

Therefore option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write as many equations as possible that could represent the relationship between
IgorC [24]

Answer:

a) Here we have:

"In Family A, the youngest child is 7 years younger than the oldest, who is 18"

Let's define:

Y = age of the youngest child.

O = age of the oldest child.

Then we know that:

Y = O - 7

O = 18

Then we can replace the second equation into the first one:

Y = 18 - 7 = 11.

b) Here we have:

"In Family B, the middle child is 5 years older than the youngest child."

Let's define:

Y = age of the youngest child.

M = age of the middle child.

Here we have only one equation:

M = Y + 5.

mars1129 [50]
Since the two triangles are similar, then the ratio of the corresponding sides is equal. Therefore;
JP/GM=PK/MH
26/GM = 16/36
   GM=  (26×36)/16
         =  58.5
