The population of bacteria after 40 hours is 254

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial population of bacteria = 40

Growth rate: Doubles every 15 hours

The population function is given as:

P_t = P_0 * r^t

Here

P0 is the initial population

r is the growth rate

and t is the time in hours

The growth rate will be: 2^{\frac{t}{15}}

Putting the values in the function

P_t = 40 * 2^{\frac{40}{15}}\\P_t = 40 * 2^{2.67}\\P_t = 40 * 6.34960...\\P_t = 253.98416...

Rounding off to nearest whole number we get

P_t ≅254

10 x 8 = 8 x [] unknown factor
Akimi4 [234]

Hey there!

10 * 8 = 8 * e

10 * 8 = 80

80 = 8 * e

8 * e = 80

8e = 80

DIVIDE 8 to BOTH SIDES

8e/8 = 80/8

CANCEL out: 8/8 because that gives you 1

KEEP: 80/8 because that gives the value of x

x = 80/8

80/8 = x

10 = x

x = 10

Therefore your answer is: 10

Because, 10 * 8 = 8 * 10

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Dafna1 [17]
24 =
{2}^{3}  \times 3
36 =
{2}^{2}  \times  {3}^{2}
The greatest common factor of 24 and 36 is
{2}^{2}  \times 3
Thus 12 is the greatest number of projects that can be in a row.

Simplify 3(2x+5)-4(2x-7)
Sati [7]
For this you need to expand the brackets first:
3(2x+5)-4(2x-7) = 6x+15-8x-28
And then now you need to add and simplify:
6x+15-8x-28 —> 6x-8x= -2x
15-28= -13
So that leaves
-2x - 13
