On his way home from the laboratory, Louie realized that he left a test tube containing 2560 yeast cells in the lab. Every two m

inutes, the number of cells in the test tube increases by 50%. If the number of cells reaches 98,450 the test tube will explode! Naturally, he turned around and rushed back to the lab.

Answer:

98450 > 2560 * (1.5)^(t/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that there are 2560 cells in the test tube. Then they tell us that every 2 minutes, the number of cells increases by 50%. At 98,450 cells, the test tube will explode. Since Louie got to the lab before the tube exploded, 98,450 is greater than. On the other side of the inequality, we get 2560 times 1.5, because it is increasing by 50%. Then we put 1.5 to the power of t/2 because it grows by 50% every two minutes. The end result is 98450 > 2560 * (1.5)^(t/2). Hope this helps.

a tea company surveyed shoppers at two different malls. shoppers were asked whether they prefer sweetened or unsweetened tea. at
FromTheMoon [43]
First, let's create the ratios of sweetened to unsweetened. To do this, you would have to subtract the number of people that preferred unsweetened from the total.
Westside mall: 15:30 or \frac{15}{30}
Eastside mall: 13:26 or \frac{13}{26}

Now, you would divide to both ratios.
15 ÷ 30 = 0.5
13 ÷ 26 = 0.5 

They have the same sum, meaning, they are the same. 

Westside Mall shoppers are just as likely to prefer unsweetened tea as Eastside Mall shoppers. 

I hope this helps!

Which is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3,17)(3,17) and (7,25)(7,25)?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
The slope is 2, because you subtract the points 3,17 from 7,25 to get 8/4/ Simplify that into 2.
