Answer:

  20,176,803

Step-by-step explanation:

This geometric series has a first term of 3 and a common ratio of 21/3 = 7. The formula for the sum of n terms of a series with first term a1 and common ratio r is ...

 Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

For a1=3, n=9, and r=7, the sum is ...

  S9 = 3·(7^9 -1)/(7 -1) = 3·40353606/6 = 20,176,803

The sum of the first 9 terms is 20,176,803.

_____

The first 9 terms are ...

  3 +21 +147 +1029 +7203 +

  50,421 +352,947 +2,470,629 +17,294,403

Cassidy says that the capacity is the same as the amount. Do you agree explain why or why not.
Zinaida [17]
No, it's not the same thing. Capacity is how much one thing can hold, and amount is the quantity of something. They're similar, but different.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Function representing the bacterial growth has been given as,

b_1(t)=1200(1.8)^t

a). Here 1200 represents the initial number of bacteria taken for the study (1).

b). 1.8 represents the growth factor by which the population of the bacteria is multiplying.

c). Second study is modeled by the function given as,

  b_2(t)=1000(1.8)^t

  Here, initial population of bacteria = 1000

  Difference in 1200 and 1000 in two studies means → Second study was conducted on 1000 bacteria while in study (1) number of bacteria were 1200.
