Answer: (a) y = 250(1.8)ˣ (b) 89,262 bacteria
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Use the exponential growth formula y = a(b)ˣ where
- a = Initial Value
- b = 1 + r (for growth) or 1 - r for decay
- r = rate (convert percent to a decimal)
a) Given: a = 250, r = 80% (.80) → b = 1.8
y = 250(1.8)ˣ
b) Given: x = 10
y = 250(1.8)¹⁰
y = 89,261.68 = 89,262 (rounded to the nearest whole number)
Answer:
nth term = 18 - 3n
Step-by-step explanation:
nth term = a + (n - 1)d
a1 = 15
d = -3
nth term = a + (n - 1)d
= 15 + (n - 1)-3
= 15 + (-3n + 3)
= 15 - 3n + 3
= 18 - 3n
nth term = 18 - 3n
For instance, if you want to find the 10th term
nth term = 18 - 3n
10th term = 18 - 3(10)
= 18 - 30
= -12
10th term = -12
14 years. In 14 years Chloe will be 22 and Sheila will be 28. 22+28 is 50.
57 because 5(6)+3(7)+6 is 30+21+6=57
It’s either no solution or just false depending on the answer choices you have
solving steps:
5(5t+1)=25t-7
25t+5=25t-7
5= -7
which is not true
