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

Find two irrational numbers between 0.3 and 0.7?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

0.3101001000......

0.410100100010000....

Step-by-step explanation:

To find irrational number between any two numbers, we first need to understand what a rational and irrational number is.

Rational number is any number that can be expressed in fraction of form p/q. Since q can be 1, all numbers that terminate are rational numbers. Example: 1, 12.34, 123.66663

Irrational number on the other hand can't be expressed as a fraction and do not terminate. Also, there is no pattern in numbers i.e. there is no repetition in numbers after the decimal point.

For example: 3.44444..... can be expressed as rational number 3.45.

But 3.414114111.... is an irrational number as there no pattern observed. Also,it does not terminate.

We can find infinite number of irrational numbers in between two rational numbers.

<u>Irrational numbers in between 0.3 and 0.7:</u>

0.3101001000......

0.410100100010000....

0.51010010001.......

0.6101001000....

There are many others. We can choose any two as answers.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer: 500+5x=800

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The rent of waterslide per day  = $500

Let x be the a charge per hour of use.

The number of hours bounce house was used  = 5 hours

Since, the total charge was $800.

Therefore, the equation can be used to find the charge x, in dollars, per hour of use is given by :-

Fixed charge+5 times x=Total charge

\Rightarrow500+5x=800
