Let us assume the initial number of bacteria in the culture = xAfter 1 hour,The number of bacteria = 185x/100                                      = 1.85xAfter 2 hours,The number of bacteria = (185 * 1.85x)/100                                       = 3.42xSo3.42x = 12500x = 12500/3.42   = 3654.97   = 3655From the above deduction, we can conclude that the initial number of bacteria in the culture is 3655.

Let us assume the initial number of bacteria in the culture = x

After 1 hour,

The number of bacteria = 185x/100

                                     = 1.85x

After 2 hours,

The number of bacteria = (185 * 1.85x)/100 

                                     = 3.42x

So

3.42x = 12500

x = 12500/3.42

  = 3654.97

  = 3655

From the above deduction, we can conclude that the initial number of bacteria in the culture is 3655

The graph of g(x) is a reflection and translation of ∛x see attachment, please help
svetoff [14.1K]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: g(x)=-\sqrt[3]{x-1}

<h2>Why?</h2>

Let's check the roots and the shown point in the graphic (2,-1)

First,

0=-\sqrt[3]{x-1}\\\\0^{3}=(-\sqrt[3]{x-1})^{3}\\\\0=-(x-1)\\\\x=1

then,

g(0)=-\sqrt[3]{0-1}\\g(0)=-(-1)\\g(0)=1\\y=1

So,  we know that the function intercepts the axis at (1,0) and (0,1), meaning that the function match with the last given option

(g(x)=-\sqrt[3]{x-1})

Second,

Evaluating the function at (2,-1)

y=-\sqrt[3]{x-1}\\-1=-\sqrt[3]{2-1}\\-1=-\sqrt[3]{1}\\-1=-(1)\\-1=-1

-1=-1

It means that the function passes through the given point.

Hence,

The equation which represents g(x) is g(x)=-\sqrt[3]{x-1}

Have a nice day!

Consider the geometric sequence below.
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

f(1) = 8

Common ratio: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) means the firs term in a sequence.

In the function f(n), represented by 8, 4, 2, 1, .., the first term is 8.

f(1) = 8

To find the common ratio, divide any term by the term before it.

We can use any two of the given terms in the sequence EXCEPT for 8 because it is the first term and does not have a term before it.

I choose to divide the second term by the first term:

4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5

Find the lateral area of a cylinder whose radius is 6 cm and height is 20 cm.
zaharov [31]
The surface area of a cylinder is define by the formula S.A.=2πrh+2<span>πr^2, where the first part of the formula refers to the lateral area, perimeter, or circumference and the second part to the area of the bases, which are circles.

On this exercise it is asked to find the lateral area of a cylinder whose radius is 6 cm, and has a height of 20cm. To find the lateral area of the cylinder you should substitute this values into the formula, S.A.=2</span>πrh, and as can be seen the answers are given in terms of <span>π or pi.

S.A.=2</span><span>πrh
S.A.=2</span><span>π(6cm)(20cm)
S.A.=2</span><span>π(120cm)
S.A.=240</span>π cm^2

The lateral area of the cylinder is 240
<span>π cm^2 or in other words letter B from the given choices.</span>
