A population of bacteria is treated with an antibiotic. It is estimated that 5,000 live bacteria existed in the sample before tr

eatment. After each day of treatment, 40% of the sample remains alive. Which best describes the graph of the function that represents the number of live bacteria after x days of treatment?
A. f(x) = 5000(0.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0

B. f(x) = 5000(0.6)x, with a vertical asymptote of x = 0

C. f(x) = 5000(1.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0

D. f(x) = 5000(1.6)x, with a vertical asymptote of x = 0

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step by step explanation:

The exponential function is defined as

f(x)=ab^x

Where, a is initial value and b is growth factor or decay factor.

The initial population of bacteria is 5000.

After each day of treatment, 40% of the sample remains alive. It means the growth factor or decay factor is

\frac{40}{100}=0.4

Therefore the required function is

f(x)=5000(0.4)^x

The horizontal asymptote is y=0 because

f(x)\rightarrow 0\text{ as }x\rightarrow\infty

Therefore option A is correct.

Identify and describe the various satellites the orbit in our solar system.
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

The seven largest natural satellites in the solar system (over 2,500 km in diameter) are the four Jovian Galilean moons - Ganymede, Callisto, Io, and Europa - Saturn's moon Titan, Earth's own Moon, and the satellite captured natural of Neptune Triton.

They move around a larger body. They revolve around these bodies because of their gravitational pull. The orbits that they describe when turning on these bodies can be regular or irregular.

Natural satellites of planets in the Solar System

Mercury → 0.

Venus → 0.

Earth → 1.

Mars → 2.

Jupiter → 79.

Saturn → 82.

Uranus → 27.

Neptune → 14.
