Answer:
2(d-2)/(2d+1) or 1 - 5/(2d+1)
d can not be -½
Step-by-step explanation:
(d-3)/(2d+1) + (d-1)/(2d+1)
Lcm: 2d+1
(d-3+d-1)/(2d+1)
= (2d-4)/(2d+1)
= 2(d-2)/(2d+1)
If further simplification required:
= (2d-4)/(2d+1)
= (2d+1-5)/(2d+1)
= (2d+1)/(2d+1) - 5/(2d+1)
= 1 - 5/(2d+1)
2d+1 = 0
When d = -½
So d can not be -½ because when the denominator becomes 0, fraction becomes undefined
Answer:
10,600
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacteria grew in 2 hours by 800. Divide that and that it by 400 per hour.
Since it is a proportional rate, we can assume that the rate continue through till midnight.
Since midnight is 12 hours after noon then the bacteria grow 400 (12)=4800.
We add this to the population at noon 5800+4800=10,600.
10x10x10x10=10^4
10x10x10x10=10,000
6x10^5=6x100000
6x10^5=600000
