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.

The first step for solving this expression is to distribute \frac{3}{8} through the first set of parenthesis.
( \frac{3}{8}x -  \frac{3}{8}) × (x - 9)
Now use the FOIL method to multiply each term in the first parenthesis by each term in the second parenthesis. This will look like the following:
\frac{3}{8}x × x - \frac{3}{8}x × 9 - \frac{3}{8}x - \frac{3}{8} × (-9)
Remember that multiplying two negatives together equals a positive,, so the expression changes to:
\frac{3}{8}x × x - \frac{3}{8}x × 9 - \frac{3}{8}x + \frac{3}{8} × 9
Calculate the product of all of the sets of multiplication to make the expression become:
\frac{3}{8}x² - \frac{27}{8}x - \frac{3}{8}x + \frac{27}{8}
Lastly,, calculate the difference of - \frac{27}{8}x - \frac{3}{8}x to find your final answer.
\frac{3}{8}x² - \frac{15}{4}x + \frac{27}{8}

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

it would be y= 3/4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the form is y=mx+b

and you have to set it up as 8y=16-6x

Divide each term

Cancel the common factor of 8.

Divide y by 1

then simplify and turn it into a fraction.
