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.

what is the equation of the line described below written in slope intercept form? the line passing through point (0,0) and parel
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Solve <span>3x+2y-6=0 for y

2y-6=-3x

2y=-3x+6

y=-1.5x+3

So the slope of the reference line is -1.5.  For two lines to be parallel they must have the same slope so our line will also have a slope of -1.5 so we have:

y=-1.5x+b, now we can solve for b given the point (0,0)

0=-1.5(0)+b

0=0+b

b=0 so our line is:

y=-1.5x</span>

∆ABC is translated 6 units up and 3 units left to create ∆A'B'
guajiro [1.7K]

Keep in mind that the positive directions of the two axis are: upwards for the y axis and rightwards for the x axis.


So, translating a point 6 units up means to go 6 units along the positive direction on the y axis. For this reason, the new y coordinate will be 6 units more than the old one.


Similarly, going 3 units left means to decrease by 3 the x coordinate, because we're following the negative direction.


So, to recap, this transformation maps (x,y) \to (x-3, y+6)


This means that the two points become


A = (-1, 2) \implies A' ( -4,8),\qquad B = (1,5) \implies B' = (-2,11)
