Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.   The sequence is 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000.

2.  The common ratio  is 2000/1000 = 2.

3.   Number of bacteria after 7 hours is 1000(2)^(7- 1)

    = 64,000.

4.   1000(2)^(x-1)  > 1,000,000

2^x-1  > 1000

x- 1  log 2 > log 10

x- 1 > 9.96

x > 10.96

During the 11th hour.

HELPPPPPP SOLVE FOR X
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

These are supplementary angles.

This means that the angles add up to 180 degrees.

The first thing we can do is set 6y equal to 90, because the little red box means that is 90 degrees.

6y = 90

y = 15

Now that we have found y we can solve for x.

Plug in the y to the 5x + 4y

5x + 4(15)

5x + 60

We can set this equal to 90 again

5x + 60 = 90

5x = 30

x = 6

Therefore x is equal to 6.
