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

Simplify the expression 6x+12y+5+2y+8 what is the coefficient of y and what is the constant
frez [133]
We want to find the coeficient of the y terms when added together so find all the y terms

+12y and +2y
we add them together
12y+2y=(12+2)y=(14)y=14y
coeficient is 14


the constant is the number that is set already or the number that doesn't have it multiplied by a placeholder exg. 4 is a constnat but 4x is not so find the constants
+5 and +8
we add
5+8=13
the constant is 13


y coeficient=14
constant=14

Which is bigger 2/5 or 4/9
Jlenok [28]
The easiest way to solve this comparison without any unusual comparisons is to find a common denominator for the two fractions.

2/5 = 18/45
4/9 = 20/45

Since 20/45 is bigger than 18/45, we know that 4/9 is greater than 2/5
