Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

- 143,622 bacteria present on day 15

- the bacteria doubles twice a day

that means each day backwards, the bacteria is four times less the day before

therefore:

- on day 14, the number of bacteria is 143,622 / 4

which is 35,905.5

and so on!

so:

- day 13 = 8,976.375

- day 12 = 2,244.09375

- day 11 =  561.0234375

- day 10 = 140.255859375

this rounded to the nearest whole number is

= 140 bacteria

(you can't have a part of a bacteria!)

hope this helps! :)

Which expression has the greatest value when x=3
Luden [163]

Answer:

The third expression: (2x)^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 3 for x in each expression

2x^3

2(3)^3

Use PEMDAS

2 (3 × 3 × 3)

2 (9 × 3)

2 (27)

54

2x^3 + 5

(The last expression told us 2x^3 = 54 so feel free to use this information to make life easier)

54 + 5

59

(2x)^3

(2 × 3)^3

Use PEMDAS

6^3

6 × 6 × 6

36 × 6

216

(x - 1)^3

(3 - 1)^3

Use PEMDAS

2^3

2 × 2 × 2

4 × 2

8

216 is the greatest value so the third expression is the answer
