The answer is 160 because as you stated in the question the number of bacteria doubles every five minutes, and after 10 minutes there are 40. Therefore, after 15 minutes there are 80 (40 doubled is 80), and after 20 (another 5 minutes), the number of bacteria is the double of 80, which is 160.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance to the nearest tenth, between F(9, 5) and G(-2, 2). (Hint: Place F and G on the

artcher [175]

Put a point H on (9, 2). Sketch a triangle out of the three points. Distance between (-2, 2) and (9, 2) is going to be 11. Distance between (9, 2) and (9, 5) is going to be 3. These correspond to the a and b of the Pythagorean Theorem
c^2=a^2+b^2
c=√11^2+3^2=√130

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS AND EXPLAIN EACH ONE AND HOW YOU DID IT PLEASE MY TEACHER SUCK AND ILL GIVE YOU BRAINLY IF U GE

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It's easiest to reduce each statement to its simplest form for comparison

Our test statement can be reduced by combining like terms

16x - 12 -24x + 4 = -8x - 8

this becomes our new gold standard

a) 4 + 16x - 12(1 + 2x)

apply the distributive property by multiplying terms in parenthesis by -12

4 + 16x - 12 - 24x

combine terms

-8x - 8 Yeaah, We have a winner as it exactly matches our gold standard.

b) 40x - 16 is already in simplest terms and does NOT match the gold standard.

c) 16x - 24x - 4 + 12

has the same cardinal values as the original, but differing signs, reducing gives -8x + 8

Not quite the same as a plus sign occurs where a negative exists in our gold standard.

d) -8x - 8 is already in simplest terms and exactly matches our gold standard. Yeah!

e) 10(1.6x - 1.2 - 2.4x + 4)

apply distributive property by multiplying each term in parenthesis by 10

16x - 12 - 24x + 40

combine like terms

-8x + 28 does NOT match our gold standard
