Answer:

10,219 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the population of bacteria in a culture given the formula for the population increase.

From the question, we know the formula to use is

Pt=Po*2^t/d

From the parameters in the question, we identify that Pt is ?, Po is 8300 bacteria , t is 3 hours and d is 10 hours which is the doubling time. Inserting these figures we have;

Pt = 8300 * 2^(3/10)

Pt = 8300 * 2^0.3

Pt = 10,218.5

Pt = 10,219 bacteria to the nearest whole number

Margaret [11]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

6x=2x+24

6x-2x=24

4x=24

Then we divide both sides by 4.

x=6

Marrrta [24]
<span>The end behavior of a polynomial function is the behavior of the graph of f as 
x → +∞ or x → -∞ , depending on its leading coefficient.

In the example, the LEADING COEFFICIENT = - 3x</span>⁵
<span>,when x → +∞, ( - 3x⁵ ) → - ∞ . The end behavior, the polynomial approches minus infinity
