Answer:

(E). 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original population of each colony be P.

We have been given that a certain bacteria colony doubles in size every day, so bacteria colony is growing exponentially. After x days, the population of bacteria would be:

P(2)^x

The population after 19 days will be P(2)^{19} for each colony.

The total population of both the colonies at that point will be P(2)^{19}+P(2)^{19}=2P(2)^{19}=P(2)^{20} which is what the habitat's limit is.

Therefore, it will take 19 days for two bacteria colonies to reach the habitat's limit and option E is the correct choice.

Answer:

-4x^2 + 237x - 675

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 3)*(232 - 4x -7)                            >> Distribute x and -3 to the trinomial

232x - 4x^2 - 7x - 696 + 12x + 21     >> Simplify

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?
belka [17]

Answer:

y = 3/5 x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

two points on the graph

(-5,0) (0,3)

the y intercept is 3  (this is where it crosses the y axis)

the slope is

change in y     0 to 3            up 3

------------------  = -------------- =  -------        =   3/5

change in x      -5 to 0             right 5


we can tell the slope is positive because it goes from bottom left to top right

a negative slope goes from top left to bottom right

slope intercept form is

y=mx+b

y = 3/5 x+3
