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.

Simpify the expression.<br>5+4z-2z<br><br>Simpilfied expression ​
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

2z + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to combine like terms

subtract 4z - 2z and you get 2z

the number with the variable next to it goes first not the constant

2z + 5

the variable is z and the constant is 5 because it doesn't have variable next to it

hope this makes sense and helps :)

Select all the rates that are unit rates.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

\frac{2/3}{1} and \frac{3}{1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Options

\frac{1}{1/3}     \frac{2/3}{1}     \frac{2}{3}     \frac{3}{1}     \frac{1}{9}

Required

Select the unit rates

Unit rate involve two items where the first item being measured can be any positive number, but the second item must be measured in units (i.e. 1)

For clarity:

If \frac{a}{b} represents unit rate, then b = 1

Having said that:

Only \frac{2/3}{1} and \frac{3}{1} satisfy the condition of unit rates; others are not because they have a denominator other than 1
