Answer:

\frac{log(6400)}{log(4)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial population of bacteria is 800 and we know that this number is quadrupling every hour.

<u>We're going to find a function in terms of t (time) that gives us the population of bacteria at that time.</u>

Since the population is quadrupling every hour the function in terms of t (where t is expressed in hours) is:

f(t)=800(4^{t})

Now we need to find the time when there will be 5,120,000 bacterias. This means the time t when f(t) = 5,120,000

So we have 5,120,000 = 800(4^{t})

5,120,000 = 800(4^{t})\\\frac{5,120,000}{800} =4^{t} \\6400=4^{t} \\log(6400) =t log(4)\\\frac{log(6400)}{log(4)} =t

Therefore, the time when there will be 5,120,000 bacterias will be:

\frac{log(6400)}{log(4)}

An art studio charges a start-up fee to cover art supplies, plus an additional fee per class. The graph shows the total cost for
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✔️The rate of change can be calculated using the coordinates of any two points on the graph. Let's use (2, 60) and (3, 75):

rate of change = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{75 - 60}{1} = \frac{15}{1} = 15

Rate of change (m) = 15

✅In the context of this situation, the rate of change can be interpreted to be the additional fee per class. Thus, an additional fee per class cost $15.

✔️Initial value is the same as the y-intercept.

To find the y-intercept (b), substitute m = 15, x = 2, and y = 60 into y = mx + b.

Thus:

60 = 15(2) + b

60 = 30 + b

60 - 30 = b

30 = b

b = 30

The initial value/y-intercept = $30

✅In this context, $30 is the start-up fee to cover art supplies.

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements about factoring 14x2 + 6x – 7x – 3 by grouping.
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:1.  GCF of the group ( 6 x - 3 ) is 3.

2.  The common binomial factor is 2 x - 1.

3.  The factored expression is:  ( 2 x - 1 ) ( 7 x + 3 ).

Step-by-step explanation:

14 x² + 6 x - 7 x - 3 =

= ( 14 x² - 7 x ) + ( 6 x - 3 ) =

= 7 x ( 2 x - 1 ) + 3 ( 2 x - 1 ) =

= ( 2 x - 1 ) ( 7 x + 3 )
