The number of viruses was 4000 times greater than number of protozoa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of protozoa = $5*10^5$

Number of viruses = $2*10^9$

Let,

x be the number of times number of viruses is greater than number of protozoa.

Number of viruses = Number of time * Number of protozoa

$2*10^9=(5*10^5)x$

Dividing both sides by $5*10^5$

$\frac{2*10^9}{5*10^5}=\frac{(5*10^5)x}{5*10^5}\\\\4*10^3= x\\x=4*10^3 \\x=4000$

The number of viruses was 4000 times greater than number of protozoa.

Write a linear function ff with f(4)=−3f(4)=−3 and f(0)=−2f(0)=−2

Nonamiya [84]

<span>The line goes through the points (4,-3) and (0,-2), so its gradient is (-2-(-3))/(0-4) = -1/4. The y-intercept is -2 because f(0)=-2. So the equation of the line is y = -1/4 x - 2.This can be represented by the linear function f(x) = (-1/4)x - 2. The composite function ff is given by ff(x) = f(-1/4 x - 2) = (-1/4)((-1/4)x - 2) - 2 = x/16 - 3/2.</span>
