Answer:
in school a , 67.3 % of leaving students go to university.
in school b ,90.7% of leaving students go to university
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 15 + 2x = 4x + 12
7x - 4x = 12 + 15
3x = 27
x = 9
This can be expressed as exponential growth of the form:
f=ir^t, f=final amount, i=initial amount, r=common ratio (rate), t=time
In this case we are given the point (2, 6500) and i=5000 so we can solve for the rate...
6500=5000r^2 divide both sides by 5000
1.3=r^2 take the square root of both sides and note that we know r>0
r=1.3^(1/2) so our equation becomes:
f=5000(1.3)^(1/2)^t and knowing that (a^b)^c=a^(b*c) we can say:
f=5000(1.3)^(t/2) so for t=18
f=5000(1.3)^9
f≈53022 (to nearest whole bacteria)
