The number of bacteria present after 15 hours is 18928
<h3>How to determine the
exponential equation?</h3>
An exponential equation is represented as;
y = ab^x
Where
a = y, when x = 0
From the table, we have:
y = 1796 when x = 0
So, we have:
y = 1796b^x
Also, we have the point (1, 2097)
This gives
2097 = 1796b^1
Divide by 1796
b = 1.17
Substitute b = 1.17 in y = 1796b^x
y = 1796(1.17)^x
This means that the exponential equation is y = 1796(1.17)^x
After 15 hours, we have:
y = 1796(1.17)^15
Evaluate
y = 18928
Hence, the number of bacteria present after 15 hours is 18928

We know that the equation of the line is in the form
. To find b, we can use the fact that (6,-5) lies on the line, meaning that both sides of the equation are equal when x=6 and y=-5.

Hence, the equation of the line is
, and its graph looks something like follows.
Answer:
a = 
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve for a.
8x−5x+4−x=ax+8
Step 1: Flip the equation.
ax+8=2x+4
Step 2: Add -8 to both sides.
ax+8+−8=2x+4+−8
ax=2x−4
Step 3: Divide both sides by x.
Let's solve for x.
8x−5x+4−x=ax+8
Step 1: Add -ax to both sides.
2x+4+−ax=ax+8+−ax
−ax+2x+4=8
Step 2: Add -4 to both sides.
−ax+2x+4+−4=8+−4
−ax+2x=4
Step 3: Factor out variable x.
x(−a+2)=4
Step 4: Divide both sides by -a+2.
Hope this helps!

Hi there!

To solve, we can use right triangle trigonometry.
Recall that:
sin = O/H, cos = A/H, tan = O/A.
For angle G, HF is its OPPOSITE side, and FG is the hypotenuse.
Therefore, we must use sine to evaluate:
sinG = 14 / 17
sin⁻¹ (14/17) = ∠G. Evaluate using a calculator.
∠G ≈ 55.44°
