This is simply testing if proportions are valid.
Guess-and-check, so the answer would be 40:48, since 5 x 8 = 40 and 6 x 8 = 48, where 8 is the set "constant" number
The number 2,000 represent the number of bacteria at t = 0 in the function.
<h3>What is an exponent?</h3>
Consider the function:
y = a (1 ± r) ˣ
Where x is the number of times this growth/decay occurs, a = initial amount, and r = fraction by which this growth/decay occurs.
If there is a plus sign, then there is exponential growth happening by r fraction or 100r %
If there is a minus sign, then there is exponential decay happening by r fraction or 100r %
The population of a certain bacteria can be modeled by the function

Where t represents the number of hours after an experiment has started.
The number 2,000 represent the number of bacteria at t = 0 in the function.

Answer:
Check the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Kindly check the attached image below for the full explanation.
Based on the preceding MBE values in the attached image below, the 3-Month moving averages appear better; however, exponential smoothing was penalized by including month 2 which was difficult for any method to forecast; using only the errors for months 0 to 12, the MBE for exponential smoothing is
MSE
= 14694/9= 1632.72
exponential smoothing was better considering months 4 to 12.
Answer:52 stamps
Step-by-step explanation: He has 32 now. You subtract 6, as he bought 6 more. Then you double this as he sold half. That gives you 52
