Solution:
3,500,000 - 2,030,000 = 1,470,000 square miles
Explanation:
Let's fully understand what this word problem is saying. Break it down.
The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world.
The Australian Desert is the second largest desert. 
This means that the Australian Desert has an area that is less than the Sahara desert. 
We are given the size of the Sahara, which is 3,500,000 square miles, but not the size of the Australian desert.The area of the Australian desert is less by 2,030,000 square miles.This is the amount we have to subtract from the area of the Sahara to find the size of the Australian desert:
3,500,000-2,030,000= 1,470,000 square miles. Hope this helps!

A culture started with 5,000 bacteria. After 2 hours, it grew to 6,500 bacteria. Predict how many bacteria will be present after
lesya [120]
This can be expressed as exponential growth of the form:

f=ir^t, f=final amount, i=initial amount, r=common ratio (rate), t=time

In this case we are given the point (2, 6500) and i=5000 so we can solve for the rate...

6500=5000r^2  divide both sides by 5000

1.3=r^2  take the square root of both sides and note that we know r>0

r=1.3^(1/2) so our equation becomes:

f=5000(1.3)^(1/2)^t  and knowing that (a^b)^c=a^(b*c) we can say:

f=5000(1.3)^(t/2)  so for t=18

f=5000(1.3)^9

f≈53022  (to nearest whole bacteria)
