4 Bacteria double per hour to give 8 bacteria then in 8 hours it will become 64 then this 64 doubles to give us 128

Let me make it clear,

The bacteria culture begins with 4 bacteria and double up every hour. And the hours given is 8 hours.

Therefore, we can first list the equation: 4 x 2^8

And we can get the solution 1024 <- Answer

Hope it helps

5x – 12y – 17 = 0<br> 1*9(x + 2) - (y + 1) + 3 = 0

valentina_108 [34]

Answer: $x=\frac{12y+17}{5}$

$y=\frac{-5x+17}{-12}$

$x=\frac{y-20}{9}$

y=9x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-12y-17=0 (plus 17 from both sides)

5x-12y=17 (plus 12y from both sides)

5x=12y+17 (divide 5 from everything)

$x=\frac{12y+17}{5}$

5x-12y-17=0 (plus 17 from both sides)

5x-12y=17 (minus 5x from both sides)

-12y=-5x+17 (divide everything by -12)

$y=\frac{-5x+17}{-12}$

1*9(x+2)-(y+1)+3=0 (distribute 9 to x and to 2) (distribute -1 to y and to 1)

1*9x+18-y-1+3=0 (times 9x by 1)

9x+18-y-1+3=0 (combine like terms)

9x-y+20=0 (minus 20 from both sides)

9x-y=-20 (plus y to both sides)

9x=y-20 (divide 9 from both sides)

$x=\frac{y-20}{9}$

1*9(x+2)-(y+1)+3=0 (distribute 9 to x and to 2) (distribute -1 to y and to 1)

1*9x+18-y-1+3=0 (times 9x by 1)

9x+18-y-1+3=0 (combine like terms)

9x-y+20=0 (minus 20 from both sides)

9x-y=-20 (minus 9x from both sides)

-y=-9x-20 (divide -1 from everything)

y=9x+20

Rewrite, differentiate and simplify:<br> 3/(2x)^3

Llana [10]

$\frac{dy}{dx}$ = - $\frac{9}{8x^{4} }$

let y = $\frac{3}{(2x)^{3} }$ = $\frac{3}{8}$ $x^{-3}$

differentiate using the power rule

$\frac{d}{dx}$ ( $ax^{n}$ ) = na $x^{n-1}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}$ = - $\frac{9}{8}$ $x^{-4}$ = - $\frac{9}{8x^{4} }$

Find the product of the roots of the equation<br> xl-5x - 36 = 0

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I assume that you mean

$x^2-5x-36$

The product is -36.

$x_1 \text{ and } x_2 \text{ are the two roots, we can write}\\\\(x-x_1)(x-x_2)=x^2-(x_1+x_2)x+x_1\cdot x_2$

So in this example, it means that the sum is 5 and the product is -36.

Thank you
