This can be expressed as exponential growth of the form:
f=ir^t, f=final amount, i=initial amount, r=common ratio (rate), t=time
In this case we are given the point (2, 6500) and i=5000 so we can solve for the rate...
6500=5000r^2 divide both sides by 5000
1.3=r^2 take the square root of both sides and note that we know r>0
r=1.3^(1/2) so our equation becomes:
f=5000(1.3)^(1/2)^t and knowing that (a^b)^c=a^(b*c) we can say:
f=5000(1.3)^(t/2) so for t=18
f=5000(1.3)^9
f≈53022 (to nearest whole bacteria)
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
-x + 2y = 8
5x + 2y = -4
+ x. -2y. -8
6x = -12
÷6. ÷6
x = -2
5(-2) + 2y = -4
-10 + 2y = -4
+10. +10
2y = 6
÷2. ÷2
y = 3

pls write question correctly so I can answer it
Answer:
y = -2x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming this is linear, the slope would be constant. For every 1 x, y decreases by 2. This means that the slope is -2.
y = -2x + b
Now all we need is the y-intercept.
If we plug in the first point (1,3), we get:
3 = -2*1+b
3 = -2+b
b = 5
This is the y-intercept.
y = -2x + 5
