To start, find your equation, n=3000(.5)^t, n being your number of bacteria and t being your time. Now plug in 375 for n and solve for t, 375=3000(.5)^t, .125=.5^t, t=log_{.5} .125=3. This means your answer is 3 minutes. To check it, plug it into your equation. n=3000(.5)^t=3000(.125)=375

Reptile [31]
Consider this option:
1. rule: Circle is the locus of the points which are on the same distance from the given point. Common view of the equation is: (x-a)²+(y-b)²=r², where r - the distance from the given point to the described locus, a&b - coordinates of the given point.
2. using item 1:
(x+2)²+(y-1)²=3² or (x+2)²+(y-1)²=9.

What is 14=9-x I am trying to solve it
prisoha [69]
14 = 9 - x

First, subtract 9 from both sides.

14 - 9 = (9 - 9) - x
5 = -x

Now divide both sides by -1.
5/-1 = -1/-1x
-5 = x

The answer is x = -5.
