Answer:

After 8 hour there will be 317.64 pounds of algae.

y-intercept: (0, 50)

Step-by-step explanation:

At time = 0 hours, there are 50 pounds of algae, after 3 hour there will be 100 pounds of algae, after 6 hour there will be 200 pounds of algae, and so on.

Exponential growth is modeled by the following equation:

y = x0*(1 + r)^t

where x0 is the amount of algae at the beginning, r is the rate of change, and y is the amount of algae after t hours. Replacing with data:

100 = 50*(1 + r)^3

2 = (1 + r)^3

ln(2) = 3*ln(1 + r)

r = exp(ln(2)/3) - 1

r = 0.26

This result can be checked as follows

y = 50*(1 + 0.26)^6 = 200

After 8 hours:

y = 50*(1 + 0.26)^8 = 317.64

The y-intercept corresponds to t = 0

y = 50*(1 + 0.26)^0 = 50

Find the value of X, then find AB and DC.
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

X=2, AB=14, DC=14

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+8=x+12

Subtract x from both sides

2x+8=12

Subtract 8 from both sides

2x=4

Divide by 2 on the sides

Answer: x=2

Then replace the x's with (2) and multiply

3(2)+8 and (2)+12

Graph the systems of equations. {2x+y=8 −x+2y=6 Use the Line tool to graph the lines.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

See attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to graph the system

2x+y=8

-x+2y=6

Let us rewrite the lines in slope intercept form:

y=-2x+8

y=\frac{1}{2}x+3

The first line has a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of 8

The second line has a slope of 1/2 and a y-intercept of 3

We can no graph the lines as shown in the attachment.
