Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first day the population will decrease to 1530, then 1500 the day 2, 1470 day 3, and so on ...

For decrease and get less than 1000 the mold population needs to be reduced in at least 560. The questions turns to be, how many days will it take to reduce the population in 560 spores?

If we divide 560 between 30 it will gives us the answer:

560/30 = 18.667

So, it is need to wait 19 days. In 18 days only 540 spores are reduced. In 19 days 570. We will say 19 days as we are looking (I guess) for an integer number.

How can you<br> change the equation y = mx + b to<br> shift the graph down?
IrinaK [193]

Step-by-step explanation: To shift the graphs up and down on the coordinate system, you need to manipulate or change the y-intercepts.

The y-intercept is just the constant term in the equation.

As long as the slopes remain the same, the graphs can be

translated up or down by changing the constant value.

Take a look at these lines graphed below.

Notice that y = x + 11 is the same as y = x + 4 but

y = x + 11 is translated 7 units down to get y = x + 4.
