Colby and Jaquan are growing bacteria in an experiment in a laboratory. Colby starts with 50 bacteria in his culture and the num

ber of bacteria doubles every 2 hours. Jaquan has a different type of bacteria that doubles every 3 hours. Let x equal number of days. What two equations will represent Colby's growth and Jaquan's?

I was stuck on this problem too but I finally figured it out. One major hint was let x= the number of DAYS. So taking both of the growth rates into account the solution is this.

Colby:
He starts with 50 bacteria so that is your a value or y intercept. Keeping in mind x is the number of days you divide the number of hours in a day (24) by the time it takes to double (2 hours) and get 12. So the equation for Colby is y=50*2^12x

Jaquan:

You do the same thing except with Jaquan's part of the equation and divide 24 by 3 to get 8. The solution for Jaquan is y=50*2^8x

Help please -19 + 2z = -21
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

z = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You must first start out by adding 19 to both sides to isolate the variable z, which results in:

2z = -2

Now, you can just divide by two on both sides to get z completely on its own, which gives you:

z = -1

Hope this helped somewhat! :D

If the dimensions of the following cylinder are quadrupled, what will be the volume of the new similar cylinder?
Alik [6]

Answer:  First option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Radius = 11 inches

Height = 14 inches

Now, according to question, we have mentioned that all the dimensions of the cylinder is to be quadrupled i.e. four times.

Then,

Radius is given by

4\times 11=44 inches

Height is given by

14\times 4=56\ inches

As we know the formula for " Volume of cylinder ":

V=\pi r^2h\\\\V=3.14\times 44\times 44\times 56=340426.24\ in^3

Hence, our volume of new similar cylinder is 340426.24 cubic in.

Therefore, First option is correct.
