Answer:

<h2>After 5 hours</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If a scientist counts 35 bacteria present in a culture and finds that the number of bacteria triples each hour and the function y = 35 ∙ 3x models the number of bacteria after x hours, in order to estimate when there will be about 550 bacteria in the culture we will substitute y = 550 into the modeled equation and calculate the value of x as shown;

If y = 35*3x

when y = 550

550 = 35*3x

Dividing both sides by 35;

550/35 = 35*3x/35

3x = 550/35

x = 550/3*35

x = 550/105

x = 5.24

This means that there will be 550 bacteria in the culture after approximately 5 hours

Whats the awenser for (9m - 6)7
svet-max [94.6K]
(9m - 6)7
Distribute 7 to both sides
63m - 42
Add 42 to get 63m by itself
63m = 42
Divide both sides by 63
m = 42/63 or simplified, 2/3

What must be true of two rational expressions before they can be added?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

They most have common denominators.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the following two rational expressions:

\frac{p}{a}  , \frac{q}{b}

where p,a,q, b are integers, a and b the denominators are not 0, i.e. a,b\neq 0

We can add rational expressions only if their denominator is same.

That is why we find LCD to be ab.

Then,

\frac{p}{a} +\frac{q}{b} =\frac{pb+qa}{ab}

Let the following two rational expressions:

\frac{p}{a}  , \frac{q}{b}

where p,a,q, b are integers, a and b the denominators are not 0, i.e. a,b\neq 0

We can add rational expressions only if their denominator is same.

That is why we find LCD to be ab.

Then,

\frac{p}{a} +\frac{q}{b} =\frac{pb+qa}{ab}

So, the correct answer is the last option that we can sum rational expressions if they have common denominator.
