A biologist is researching a newly-discovered species of bacteria. He puts 1,000 bacteria into what he has determined to be a fa

vorable growth medium. 12 hours later, he measures 12,500 bacteria. Assuming exponential growth, find the growth equation and use it to determine the number of bacteria after 20 hours.

The bacteria grow from 1,000 bacteria into 12,500 bacteria in 12 hours.  The exponent function would be
:an= ao(1+r)^t12.500= 1,000(1+r)^121,000(12.5)= 1,000(1+r)^1212.5= (1+r)^121+r= 1.23427r= 0.23Number of bacteria after 20hr would be:an= ao(1+r)^tan= 1,000(1+0.23)^20an= 1,000(62.821 )an= 62,821

What is −34, 0.5, 23,−73, 1.2 in order from least to greatest?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

-73, -34, 0.5, 1.2, 23

Step-by-step explanation:

In Mathematics, the set of numbers are arranged in two ways. It means that the numbers can be arranged either in ascending order or descending order. If the numbers are arranged from the least to the greatest, then it is called ascending order. In this form, the numbers are in increasing order. The first number should be lesser than the second number.

If the numbers are arranged from the greatest to the least, then it is called descending order. In this form, the numbers are in decreasing form. The first number should be greater than the second number.

Also, read: Descending Order

Standard Form

<em>The standard form to represent the least to the greatest arrangement </em>of numbers is given by:

a < b < c < d  < …..

Here,  

a, b, c, d represent the numbers

Example: 2 < 5 < 7 < 8

Solve the inequality<br> 4b−4≤−20
devlian [24]

Answer:

b ≤ -4

Step-by-step explanation:

4b−4≤−20

4b - 4 + 4 ≤ - 20 + 4

4b ≤ -16

Divide both sides by 4

b ≤ -4

Answer quick please!
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

y = x/2 + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x/2 + 5

⇒ y = (1/2)x + 5

which satisfies the linear equation y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

At a garden shop, a customer buys 5 geraniums and 4 lilies for $48. Another customer pays $58 for 4 geraniums and 6 lilies. Writ
masha68 [24]

Answer:

A lily costs $7 and a geranium $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can write two equations. let the number of lilies be l and the number of geraniums be g, then:

5 g + 4 l = 48

4 g + 6 l = 58

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 5, the number of lilies in the other gives:

20 g + 16 l = 192

20 g + 30 l = 290

Subtract the first equation from the second gives:

14 l = 98  which dividing by 14 gives  l = 7

Substituting the value  l = 7  in the first equation gives:

5 g + 28 = 48

Subtract 20 from both sides gives:

5 g = 20  divide by 5 gives  g = 4

So, a lily costs $7 and a geranium costs $4.
