You have to divide 135 by 9
the answer is 15
If there is an answer between 40 and 43 choose that answer. You would need to slow speed to allow more tragectory of the planes directions
If your teacher wants you to factor, then use the difference of squares rule
9x^2 - 4
(3x)^2 - 2^2
(3x-2)(3x+2)
Easy
equation is
f(x)=2ˣ
where x=number of hours elapsed
after 6 hours
f(6)=2⁶=64 bacteria
to solve for 1024
1024=2ˣ
take ln of both sides
ln(1024)=ln(2ˣ)
ln(1024)=x(ln(2))
divide both sides by ln(2)
ln(1024)/ln(2)=x
using calculator
10=x
or you could recognize that
1024=2¹⁰
or keep divising 1024 by 2
10 hours for 1024 bacteria
