Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation: The common difference is the difference between each of the terms in an arithmetic sequence.

Let's work backwards.

First, we take the last term we are given and

subtract the second to last term.

So here, we subtract 23 - 14 to get 9.

Now, we take 14 - 5 to get 9.

Notice that 9 is our answer in both problems above.

That means it's our common difference.

A colony of bacteria is growing exponentially according to the function below, where t is in hours. How many bacteria are there

pychu [463]

The growth of the bacteria is expressed as:

B(t) = 4 e^0.8t

where t is the time in units of hours. If the bacteria is allowed to grow for 8 hours then the number of bacteria present would be,

B(t) = 4 e^0.8(8)
B(t) = 2407

The rabbit population in a certain area is 500% of last year's population. There are 700 rabbits this year. How many were the

Ksenya-84 [330]

For this case we have the following data:

700 rabbits that represent 500% of the population of last year. So, to obtain the rabbit population of last year, we developed a rule of three:

700 -----------> 500%

x ---------------> 100%

Where x represents the rabbit population of last year.

Clearing x we have:

$x = \frac{ 100 * 700}{500}$

$x = 140$ rabbits

In this way, last year there was a population of 140 rabbits.

Answer:

140 rabbits
