Answer: A) The initial number of bacteria is 350.
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential growth equation: 
, where A=Initial value, r= growth rate. (i)
Given: A bacteria sample can be modeled by the function 
which gives the number of bacteria in the sample at the end of x days.
Here, 
Compare this equation to (i) , we get A = 350 and r= 0.20 = 20% (growth rate)
So, the best interpretation of one of the values in this function are:
A) The initial number of bacteria is 350.
Answer:
- one orange costs $0.35 and one grapefruit costs $0.45
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>let grapefruits be g , let oranges be o</em>
so first equation:
→2g + 3o = $1.95
→g = ($1.95 - 3o)/2
so second equation:
→ 3g + 2o = $2.05
→ g = ($2.05 - 2o)/3
Solving simultaneously:
→ ($2.05 - 2o)/3 = ($1.95 - 3o)/2
→ 2($2.05 - 2o) = 3($1.95 - 3o)
→ 4.1 - 4o = 5.85 - 9o
→ - 4o + 9o = 5.85 - 4.1
→ 5o = 1.75
→ o = $0.35
Therefore one orange costs $0.35
Then one grapefruit costs g → ($1.95 - 3o)/2
→ g = ($1.95 - 3(0.35))/2
→ g = 0.45
Therefore one grapefruit costs $0.45
aww this is soo sweet!!
and yes I wouldn't be able to do it without u all loll
I don't see the expression below.
Since the 40% discount applies to the number of cookies sold above 2 dozen, or 24, then if the number of cookies is c, then c - 24 is the number of cookies above 2 dozen. Answer is B.
