Marco starts with a population of 10 bacteria that doubles every day for a number of days, d. He writes the expression 10(2d) to

find the number of bacteria after d days. Isabella starts with a population of 1 bacterium that increases 20% every day for a number of days, d. She writes the expression (1 + 0.2)d to find the number of bacteria after d days. Use the drop-down menus to explain what each part of Marco's and Isabella's expressions mean.

Answer:

Marco- 10 is the starting value of the population. 2 is the growth rate of "double each day" with d as an exponent.

Isabella- 1 is the starting population. 1+0.2=1.2 is the rate at which it grows each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marco's equation should be 10(2^{d}) since the bacteria double each day. 10 is the starting value of the population. 2 is the growth rate of "double each day" with d as an exponent. This will double each day because:

Day 1 is 2^{1}=2

Day 2 is 2^{2}=4

Day 3 is 2^{3}=8

Day 4 is 2^{4}=16

You'll notice the value doubles each day.

Isabella has a different equation because her population increases by a percentage. We use the simple interest formula to calculate the bacteria's daily increase or interest.

1(1+0.2)d

1 is the starting population.

1+0.2=1.2 is the rate at which it grows each day.

Olivia decides to hire an electrician. The electrician charges $35 to come out to Olivia's
atroni [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost

C (x) = 35+ 60x

Where,

Fixed cost= $35

Variable cost = 60x

x= number of hours of work

Total cost is the addition of fixed and variable cost

C (x) = 35+ 60x

C(5)= 35 + 60(5)

= 35 + 300

=335

C(5) = 335

C(5) = 335 is Olivia's total cost of hiring the electrician

x=5 is the electrician's number of hours of work

35= fixed cost of hiring the electrician

60(5) = 300 is the variable cost of hiring the electrician for 5 hours

Why does a calculator return an error when trying to find inverse sine of 1.055?
anyanavicka [17]
Sin(x) is a function bounded between -1 and 1. A value greater than 1 or smaller than -1 (-1.1, for instance) does not correspond to any real angle.

It then returns error

Mustafa contributes 11% of his $67,200 annual salary to his 401(k) plan. What is his pretax income?
Juli2301 [7.4K]
11% of $67,200.
We need to keep in mind that some words and numbers here aren't important, like 401(k) plan. 
So what is 11% of $67,200?

\frac{11}{100}  * $67,200&#10;

11*$672

$7392

Hope this helps!
