Answer:
The population of bacteria can be expressed as a function of number of days.
Population = ![\[5*2^{n-1}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B5%2A2%5E%7Bn-1%7D%5C%5D)
where n is the number of days since the beginning.
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of bacteria on the first day=![\[5 * 2^{0} = 5\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B5%20%2A%202%5E%7B0%7D%20%3D%205%5C%5D)
Number of bacteria on the second day = ![\[5 * 2^{1} = 10\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B5%20%2A%202%5E%7B1%7D%20%3D%2010%5C%5D)
Number of bacteria on the third day = ![\[5*2^{2} = 20\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B5%2A2%5E%7B2%7D%20%3D%2020%5C%5D)
Number of bacteria on the fourth day = ![\[5*2^{3} = 40\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B5%2A2%5E%7B3%7D%20%3D%2040%5C%5D)
As we can see , the number of bacteria on any given day is a function of the number of days n.
This expression can be expressed generally as where n is the number of days since the beginning.
The answer is a = 3/4 = 0.75
First get rid of the paranthesis,
Then set the denominators equal:
Then remove the denominators and solve:
Eliminate -12a^2 by adding 12a^2 to both sides:
Take the fourth root of them or take the square root twice:
![\sqrt[4]{256 {a}^{4} } = \sqrt[4]{81} \\ 4a = 3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B256%20%7Ba%7D%5E%7B4%7D%20%7D%20%20%3D%20%20%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B81%7D%20%20%20%5C%5C%20%204a%20%3D%203)
Divide both sides by 4:
The answer would be A because you would just plug in 2 everywhere where you see x
Answer:
7 units
Step-by-step explanation:
1.4/7 in simplest form is 0.2/1 because you divide each side by 7.
