1 x 10. It is unlikely that someone will run 103 meters in a second, along with 1010.
Answer:
Exponential
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Starter:</em>
According to the title:
"Every day, half a bacteria population dies."
Exponential: y = ab^x ( b > 0 , b ≠ 1)
So the answer is C.
<em>Calculations:</em>
An exponential model is of the form y = a • b^t.
If you start with population of 500 million bacteria
t = 0
so 500 million = a • b^0 = a
Since every day half the population dies then in 1 day population will be 250 million
so a = 500 million, y = 250 million and t = 1
250 million = 500 million • b^1
b = 0.5
Therefore your equation would be
y = 500 million (or whatever the pop) • 0.5^t
Where t = number of days
This could also be written in exponential form ( e = 2.73)
Answer:
You are correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with 1 1/2. This can be made into an improper fraction which is 3/2
Now multiply both top and bottom of 3/2 by 5
(3*5)/(2 * 5) = 15 / 10
16/10 is just slightly bigger than 15/10
(y -3)^2 = 4y - 12
Expand.
(y-3)(y -3) = 4y - 12
y² - 6y + 9 = 4y - 12
y² - 6y -4y + 9 + 12 = 0
y² - 10y + 21 = 0
Factors are -7y and - 3y
y² - 10y + 21 = 0
y² - 3y - 7y + 21 = 0
y(y - 3) -7(y - 3) = 0
(y - 3)(y - 7) = 0
y-3 = 0 or y - 7 = 0
y = 0 + 3 or y = 0 + 7
y = 3 or 7
