This can be expressed as exponential growth of the form:

f=ir^t, f=final amount, i=initial amount, r=common ratio (rate), t=time

In this case we are given the point (2, 6500) and i=5000 so we can solve for the rate...

6500=5000r^2  divide both sides by 5000

1.3=r^2  take the square root of both sides and note that we know r>0

r=1.3^(1/2) so our equation becomes:

f=5000(1.3)^(1/2)^t  and knowing that (a^b)^c=a^(b*c) we can say:

f=5000(1.3)^(t/2)  so for t=18

f=5000(1.3)^9

f≈53022  (to nearest whole bacteria)

2x+y=-2
Over [174]

A

given the 2 equations

2x + y = - 2 → (1)

x + y = 5 → (2)

subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate y

(2x - x ) + (y - y ) = (- 2 - 5 )

x + 0 = - 7 ⇒ x = - 7

substitute x = - 7 in either of the 2 equations and solve for y

(2) : - 7 + y = 5 ( add 7 to both sides )

y = 5 + 7 = 12 → A

The financial statements of the Tyler Company report net sales of $300,000 and accounts receivable of $50,000 and $10,000 at the
iragen [17]

Answer:

the accounts receivable turnover for the Tyler Company is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The company report :

net sales = $300,000

account receivable  = $50,000 and $10,000

to find the accounts receivable turnover, use the following formula:

accounts receivable turnover = net sales : average account receivable

First, we need to calculate the average account receivable of  the company

average accounts receivable = ($50,000+$10,000) : 2

                                              = $60,000 : 2

                                              = $30,000

Then, substitute net sales into the formula

accounts receivable turnover = $300,000 : $30,000

                                              = 10
