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.

Anettt [7]
The answer to this question is "you gained profit". The amount of money you gain from selling the stocks now is higher compared to the amount you spent a year ago. The amount you gain from the shares is ($62.25) x 723 = $45006.75. The amount you spent last year is ($47.75) x 723 = $34523.25. The difference between the values is $10483.47. Thus, you gained $10483.47.

Determine whether a triangle with the given vertices is a scalene, isosceles, or equilateral tri Scalene Isosceles Equilateral t
solniwko [45]

Answer:

 (a) isosceles

 (b), (c) scalene

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of the sides can be found from the distance formula:

 d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

Here, there are 9 lengths to be computed, so it is useful to let a spreadsheet or graphing calculator do it.

We find triangle (a) has two sides the same length, so it is isosceles.

The other two triangles have three different side lengths, so they are scalene.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

It is impossible to specify an equilateral triangle using rational coordinates.
