Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-18x - 2x - 20x - (-13x) - (-9x) = 18

First Collect like terms

-18x - 2x - 20x + 13x + 9x = 18

-18x = 18

Divide both sided by -18\

x = -1

number of bacteria in a certain population Increases according to a continuous exponential growth model with How many hours does

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

It takes 1.77 hours for the population to double.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for population growth:

The equation for population growth, after t hours, with a growth rate parameter of r, as a decimal, is given by:

$P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t$

Growth rato parameter of 48% per hour

This means that $r = 0.48$ . So

$P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t$

$P(t) = P(0)(1+0.48)^t$

$P(t) = P(0)(1.48)^t$

How many hours does it take the size of the sample to double?

This is t for which P(t) = 2P(0). So

$P(t) = P(0)(1.48)^t$

$2P(0) = P(0)(1.48)^t$

$(1.48)^t = 2$

$\log{(1.48)^t} = \log{2}$

$t\log{1.48} = \log{2}$

$t = \frac{\log{2}}{\log{1.48}}$

$t = 1.77$

It takes 1.77 hours for the population to double.

A concert hall has 12 seats in the first row, 14 seats in the second row, 16 seats in the third row, and so on. If the pattern c

Marrrta [24]

Given:

The number of seats in the first row is <em>a</em>₁ = 12.

The series of the increasing number of seats is 12, 14, 16......

The objective is to find the total number of seats in the first 12 rows.

Explanation:

The difference between the number of seats in each row can be calculated by the difference between the successive terms of the series.

$\begin{gathered} d=14-12=2 \\ d=16-14=2 \end{gathered}$

The number of rows to be calculated is <em>n</em> = 12.

To find the number of seats:

The number of seats presents in the first 12 rows can be calculated as,

$S_n=\frac{n}{2}\lbrack2a_1+(n-1)d\rbrack$

On plugging the obtained values in the above equation,

$\begin{gathered} S_{12}=\frac{12}{2}\lbrack2(12)+(12-1)2\rbrack \\ =6\lbrack24+11(2)\rbrack \\ =6(46) \\ =276 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the total number of seats in the first 12 rows is 276.
