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.

If (12^5)^6=12^a, what is a <br><br> A=
dedylja [7]
So first simplify
(12^5)^6=(12^5)(12^5)(12^5)(12^5)(12^5)(12^5)
remember
if
(x^n)^m=x^nm
so
(12^5)^6=12^(5 times 6)=12^30

so 12^30=12^a
so a=30

At noise pollution cellular,plan A is $30.00 per month and $5.00 for every gigabyte of data . Plan B is $50.00 per month and $2.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Let x be the number of gigabyte of data used.

Plan A:
Total cost = 30 + 5x

Plan B:
Total cost = 50 + 2x

Irfan will use between 5 to 8 gb of data per month.

When x = 5
Plan A = 30 + 5(5) = $55
When x = 8,
Plan A = 30 + 5(8) = $70

When x =5,
Plan B = 50 + 2(5) = $60
When x = 8,
Plan B = 50 + 2(8) = $68

He is probably better off using Plan A. Plan A is a cheaper option up to 7gb of data. He should only swap to Plan B if he consistently use 8gb or more data per month.
