Answer:

y = 10852 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is exponential growth

y = a  b^x  where a is the initial amount , b is the growth rate and x is the time

At time 0, we have 5000 bacteria

5000 = a * b^0

5000 = a *1

a = 1

At 4 hours, we have 6000 bacteria

6000 = 5000 * b^4

Divide each side by 5000

6000/5000 = b^4

6/5 = b^4

Take the 4th root of each side

(6/5)^(1/4) = (b^4)^(1/4)

1.046635139 = b

Our equation is

y = 5000 (1.046635139) ^ x

We want to find the number of bacteria present after 17 hours

y = 5000 (1.046635139)^17

y=10851.51313

To the nearest whole number

y = 10852 bacteria

What numbers that have the same sign equal -4 3/5
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

In mathematics, equality is a relationship between two quantities or, more generally two mathematical expressions, asserting that the quantities have the same value, or that the expressions represent the same mathematical object. The equality between A and B is written A = B, and pronounced A equals B.[1][2] The symbol "=" is called an "equals sign". Two objects that are not equal are said to be distinct.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example:

{\displaystyle x=y}x=y means that x and y denote the same object.[3]

The identity {\displaystyle (x+1)^{2}=x^{2}+2x+1}{\displaystyle (x+1)^{2}=x^{2}+2x+1} means that if x is any number, then the two expressions have the same value. This may also be interpreted as saying that the two sides of the equals sign represent the same function.

{\displaystyle \{x\mid P(x)\}=\{x\mid Q(x)\}}{\displaystyle \{x\mid P(x)\}=\{x\mid Q(x)\}} if and only if {\displaystyle P(x)\Leftrightarrow Q(x).}{\displaystyle P(x)\Leftrightarrow Q(x).} This assertion, which uses set-builder notation, means that if the elements satisfying the property {\displaystyle P(x)}P(x) are the same as the elements satisfying {\displaystyle Q(x),}{\displaystyle Q(x),} then the two uses of the set-builder notation define the same set. This property is often expressed as "two sets that have the same elements are equal." It is one of the usual axioms of set theory, called axiom of extensionality.[4]

A line has a slope of a and has a y-intercept of (0,b). Which equation represents this line?
Papessa [141]

Step-by-step explanation:

General line equation: y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.

We have y = ax + b.

=> y - b = ax

=> y - b = a(x - 0).

The answer is option A.
