The greatest common factor is 2
This is because we start by taking the largest factor that goes into both coefficients. Since the first coefficient is 2, we have to try 2 and 1. Since 2 is larger and goes into 36 evenly, we use that.
Then we use the smallest number of each variable. There are 4 r's in both equations. So, that is the number that we take. There are 2 s's in the first term, so we take that number.
Answer:
B has a smaller initial population of 500
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for complete question
Required
The bacteria with the smaller initial population
The initial population is at x = 0
For bacteria A;
when
For bacteria B, we have:
Substitute 0 for x
So; when x = 0
and
Because; 500 < 600
We can conclude that B has a smaller initial population of 500
