4 0

Answer:

  growth rate = 0.1733 per day, or 17.33% per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the doubling time is 4 days, the growth factor over a period of t days is ...

  2^(t/4)

Then the growth factor for 1 day is

  2^(1/4) ≈ 1.189207

The instantaneous growth rate is the natural log of this:

  ln(1.189207) ≈ 0.1733 . . . per day

Simplify 6 - (-2) - 3(-5)
seraphim [82]

So the first thing we need to do is multiply 3*-5, since order of operations dictates it (PEMDAS)

6-(-2)-(-15)

Now, whenever we see a minus negative number, we can think of it as adding a positive number

6+(+2)+(+15)

Now we just add them together

6+2+15 = 23

23 is the answer

13) A hexagon has 6 equal sides! Ms. Sears asked the students to find the perimeter if all sides are equal to 2x + y. One studen
mestny [16]

Answer:

None of the answers are right

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a hexagon has 6 sides, and perimeter is the length of all the sides summed up, we can multiply 6 by 2x+y to find the perimeter.

6(2x+y)

Distribute the 6 to each term in the parentheses:

6(2x)+6(y)

12x+6y is the perimeter. None of the answers are right.
