Answer:

The correct answer is option (2) 19,531

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data;

a = 1 (first term)

r = 5 (five offspring)

n = 7 ( number of hours)

Using the formula of a geometric progression, we have

S₇ = \frac{a(r^{n} - 1) }{r -1}

Substituting, we have

S₇ = \frac{1(5^{7} -1) }{5-1}

S₇ = 78124/4

    = 19531

Therefore, there are 19531 number of organisms at hour seven.

A rectangles length is 2 in more than its width. The area of the rectangle is 143 square inches. Find the dimensions of the rect
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: The length is 13 inches and the width is 11 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

Let W represent the width of the rectangle.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = LW

The area of the rectangle is 143 square inches. This means that

LW = 143 - - - - - - - - - - - - --1

The rectangle's length is 2 in more than its width. This means that

L = W + 2

Substituting L = W + 2 into equation 1, it becomes

W(W + 2) = 143

W² + 2W - 143 = 0

W² + 13W - 11W - 143 = 0

W(W + 13) - 11(W + 13) = 0

W + 13 = 0 or W - 11 = 0

W = - 13 or W = 11

Since the width cannot be negative, it means that W = 11

L = W + 2 = 11 + 2

L = 13
