Organisms A and B start out with the same population size. Organism A's population doubles every day. After 5 days, the populati

on stops growing and a virus cuts it in half every day for 3 days. Organism B's population grows at the same rate but is not infected with the virus. After 8 days, how much larger is organism B's population than organism A's population? Answer the questions to find out. The expression showing organism A's decrease in population over the next 3 days is ( 1 2 ) ( 2 1 ​ ) 3 . This can be written as (2–1)3. Write (2–1)3 with the same base but one exponent.

Answer:

The number of times organism B's population is larger than organism A's population after 8 days is 32 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of organism A doubles every day, geometrically as follows

a, a·r, a·r²

Where;

r = 2

The population after 5 days, is therefore;

Pₐ₅ = = 32·a

The virus cuts the population in half for three days as follows;

The first of ta·2⁵ he three days = 32/2 = 16·a

The second of the three days = 16/2 = 8·a

After the third day, Pₐ = 8/2 = 8·a

The population growth of organism B is the same as the initial growth of organism A, therefore, the population, P₈ of organism B after 8 days is given as follows;

P₈ =  a·2⁸ = 256·a

Therefore, the number of times organism B's population is larger than organism A's population after 8 days is P₈/Pₐ = 256·a/8·a = 32 times

Which gives, the number of times organism B's population is larger than organism A's population after 8 days is 32 times.

<h3><u>Analysis </u><u>of </u><u>graph </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

We have given one graph which is plot between distance and time. where time is in minutes and distance is in seconds.

<u>According </u><u>to </u><u>the </u><u>graph </u>

  • For the first 5 minute ( O to A) , The distance is continously increasing 2m / per minute .
  • For the 5 minute that is from 5 minute to 13 minute ( A to B) both marellize and her dog wally moving with the constant speed .
  • For next 3 minutes that is from 10 minutes to 13 minutes ( B to C) , The distance is continously decreasing with time .
  • For next 3 minutes that is from 13 to 16 minutes ( C to D) , Again they moved with constant speed .
  • For next 6 minute that is from 16 to 21 minutes ( D to E) . Again, There distance is increasing with time .
  • Again For next 4 minutes that is 21 to 25 minutes , they are moving with constant velocity .

<h3><u>Let's </u><u>Begin </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

1) Between O and A

  • The marellize and wally when moving between O to A , The distance is constantly increasing with time.
  • The graph is Straight line

2) Between A and B

  • The marellize and wally when moving between A to B, The distance remains the same with time that is they moving with constant speed.
  • The graph is constant or steady

3) Between B to C

  • The marellize and wally when moving between B to C, The distance is constantly decreasing with time .
  • The graph is straight line but it follows decreasing function .

4) For covering the First 6 km ,

<u>According </u><u>to </u><u>the </u><u>graph</u><u>, </u>

  • For covering first 6 km, They took 3 minutes.

5) No, Marellize and wally walk does not from where they have started.

<u>According </u><u>to </u><u>the </u><u>graph </u>

  • It is end at 5 m instead of 0m .

The sides of a square are 3 2/7 inches long.<br> What is the area of the square?
vredina [299]
Area is just height times width so if it’s a square all sides are equal so you do 3 2/7 time 3 2/7 and get 10.796 in^2

Help!<br> What would d be?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

d = 17.5499287748 inches or 17.5 inches to 1 decimal place

Step-by-step explanation:

find the diagonal line passing through the middle of the bottom rectangle:

a² + b² = c²

10² + 8² = c²

100 + 64 = 164

c² = 164

c = √164

c = 12.8062484729

find d:

a² + b² = c²

12² + 12.80624847298² = c²

144+ 164 = 308

c² = 308

c = √308

c = 17.5499287748

therefore d = 17.5499287748 inches or 17.5 inches to 1 decimal place
