Anytime you have an even number of minus signs, the equivalent is a plus sign. This is equivalent to

... -6 +7 = +1

_____

If you want to play around with the number line, you can find -6 at 6 units to the left of zero. Likewise, -7 is 7 units to the left of zero.

Whenever you add numbers on the number line, you go in the direction they are from zero. Both 1 and 2 are to the right of zero, so when you add 1 and 2 you go 1 unit right, then another 2 units right.

If you were to add 1 and -2, you start by realizing that -2 is to the left of zero. So you go 1 unit to the right (add 1), then 2 units to the left (add -2). The result is -1.

____

When you subtract a number on the number line, you go the direction opposite that number is from zero. (Essentially, you add its opposite.) In your problem, you have numbers -6 and -7, both to the left of zero. When you start from -6 and <em>subtract</em> -7, you go 7 units to the right, since that is the opposite direction that -7 is from zero.

Staring at -6 and going 7 units right, you end at +1.

When subtraction is written as adding the opposite, your problem is written

... -6 + (+7) = -6 +7 = +1

A culture started with 1,000 bacteria. After 3 hours, it grew to 1,100 bacteria. Predict how many bacteria will be present after
ss7ja [257]
The general equation for exponential growth can be written as:
x_{t} = x_{0} (1+r)^{t}
where r is the growth rate.
Plugging in the given values, we get:
1100=1000(1+r)^{3}
Therefore
(1+r)^{3}=1.1
giving
1+r= \sqrt[3]{1.1} =1.0323
The predicted number of bacteria after 17 hours is given by:
1000(1.0323)^{17}=1716
