You want to know how long it'll take for the bacteria to grow
to (800/500) = 1.6 times their initial population.
The number of double-times it'll take is
[ log(1.6) / (log(2) ] = 0.6781 .
The double-time for these particular critters is 12 hours,
so it'll take them
0.6781 x 12 hours = 8.137 hours
= 8 hours 8.2 minutes .
Where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0 .
The quadratic term is ax
2
, the linear term is
bx, and the constant term is c. Quadratic
functions have degree two. The graph of a
quadratic function is called a parabola. If
a < 0, then the parabola opens downward,
like function g. If
a > 0, then the parabola
opens upward like function f. If
the parabola opens upward, then
the vertex is the point whose yvalue
is the minimum value of f.
If the parabola opens downward,
then the vertex is the point
whose y-value is the maximum
value of f. The vertical line that
goes through the vertex is called
the axis of symmetry of the
parabola.
Answer:
1. y = 2/3 x +2
2. y = -x -8
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope intercept form of a line is y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
1. y = 2/3 x +2
2. y = -x -8
