Well, this problem is best solved by setting up a system of two linear equations.
A linear equation can be defined
y=mx+b
where
b=initial value (when x=0), and
m=rate of increase or decrease.
In the given example, the x-axis represents hour, and the y-axis, number of cells.
Chemical #1
initial value = b = 12000 cells
rate = m = -4000 / hr
The equation is therefore
y1=-4000x+12000......................(1)
Similarly, for chemical #2
initial value = b = 6000 cells
rate = m = -3000 / hr
The equation is therefore
y2=-3000x+6000 .......................(2)
The time the two will have an equal sized colony would represent the solution of the system of equations (1) and (2), i.e. when y1=y2
which means
-4000x+12000 = -3000x+6000
transpose and solve for x
4000x-3000x = 12000-6000
1000x=6000
x=6 hours.
At 6 hours from the start,
y=-4000x+12000 = -4000*6+12000 = -24000+12000 = -12000 cells
So the solution is x=6, y=-12000, or (6,-12000)
Physical interpretation
Since cells cannot have a negative number, the two are actually equal before six hours, when they are both zero.
Case 1: y=0 when x=3
Case 2: y=0 when x=2
Therefore, after three hours, both trials will have zero cells.
You have to judge whether to give the mathematical solution (x=6,y=-12000) or the physical interpretation (x=3, y=0) as the answer.
Answer:
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that union membership increased.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Sample size, n = 400
p = 12.5% = 0.125
Alpha, α = 0.05
Number of women belonging to union , x = 52
First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis
The null hypothesis sates that 12.5% of U.S. workers belong to union and the alternate hypothesis states that there is a increase in union membership.
This is a one-tailed(right) test.
Formula:
Putting the values, we get,
Now, we calculate the p-value from the table.
P-value = 0.3812
Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and accept the null hypothesis.
Conclusion:
Thus, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that union membership increased.

Please mark as brainliest
The picture is upside down
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
We see that we can factor out 2x from the equation! So our equation becomes 2x(x-2) = 0.
Since the only way for things to multiply to equal to zero is if at least one of the numbers is 0.
So if x-2 is the 0, then x = 2.
If 2x is the 0, then x = 0.
So our answer is C. 0,2
