Easy

equation is
f(x)=2ˣ

where x=number of hours elapsed

after 6 hours
f(6)=2⁶=64 bacteria


to solve for 1024

1024=2ˣ
take ln of both sides
ln(1024)=ln(2ˣ)
ln(1024)=x(ln(2))
divide both sides by ln(2)
ln(1024)/ln(2)=x
using calculator
10=x

or you could recognize that
1024=2¹⁰
or keep divising 1024 by 2


10 hours for 1024 bacteria

This is the graph of f(x). What is the value of f(3)?
Paul [167]

Answer:

The value of f(3) is 8 ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In the function f(x) = y, y is the corresponding value of x
  • Ex: If f(a) = b, then the value of y = b at x = a

Let us solve the question

∵ The given figure represents the function f(x)

→ That means every point on the graph represents f(x) = y

∴ f(x) = y

∵ We need to find f(3)

→ That means we need the value of y at x = 3

∴ x = 3

Look at the graph and find the y-coordinate of the point that lies on the curve and has x-coordinate = 3

→ Each small square on the x-axis represents 1 unit, and on the y-axis

   represents 2 units

∵ There is a point on the graph that has x-coordinate = 3

∵ The y-coordinate of this point is 8

∴ The point (3, 8) lies on the graph of f(x)

∴ x = 3 and y = 8

∴ f(3) = 8

∴ The value of f(3) is 8

5. solve for x
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

x = 17, MN = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 secants from an external point to a circle, then

The product of the external part and the whole of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the whole of the other secant.

(5)

7(7 + x) = 8(8 + 13) = 8 × 21 = 168 ( divide both sides by 7 )

7 + x = 24 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

x = 17

(6)

9(9 + 2x - 7) = 10(10 + 8)

9(2x + 2) = 10 × 18 = 180 ( divide both sides by 9 )

2x + 2 = 20 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2x = 18 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 9

Then

MN = 2x - 7 = 2(9) - 7 = 18 - 7 = 11
