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 starts with 80 of a different type of bacteria that doubles every 3 hours.
Let x equal number of days.

Colby’s experiment follows the model:
1) y=50*2^x
2) y=50*2^8x
3) y=50*2^12x

Jaquan’s experiment follows the model:
1) y=80*2x
2) y=80*2^8x
3) y=80*2^12x

Answer:

3) y = 50 * 2¹²ˣ

2) y = 80 * 2⁸ˣ

Step-by-step explanation:

1 day = 24 hours

Number of 2-hour periods in 1 day = 24 ÷ 2 = 12

Number of 3-hour periods in 1 day = 24 ÷ 3 = 8

Colby's experiment:

y = 50 * 2¹²ˣ

Jaquan's experiment:

y = 80 * 2⁸ˣ

Answer:

The expected value of this game is -$0.26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value:

Each possible earning/loss multiplied by it's probability.

Probability:

Number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question, the order in which the numbers are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Probability of winning:

Desired outcomes:

The 6 correct numbers, so D = 6

Total outcomes:

6 numbers from a set of 21. So

T = C_{21,6} = \frac{21!}{6!15!} = 54264

Probability:

p = \frac{1}{54265}

Expected value

\frac{1}{54265} probability of earning 40,000.

\frac{54264}{54265} probability of losing 1. So

E = \frac{40,000}{54265} - \frac{54264}{54265} = -0.26

The expected value of this game is -$0.26.

Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 4x = −8?
Vladimir [108]
x^{2}+4x = -8&#10;\\\\&#10;x^{2}+4x+8 = 0&#10;\\\\&#10;\Delta = b^{2}-4ac&#10;\\\\&#10;\Delta = (4)^{2}-4 \cdot (1) \cdot (8)&#10;\\\\&#10;\Delta = 16-32&#10;\\\\&#10;\Delta = -16

There's no solution in the set of real numbers.
