The number of bacteria at any time t where t is number of hours is given by the equation,
                                At = Ao(1/2)^t/4
where Ao is the original number of bacteria. Substituting the known values from the equation,
                                1500 = (75000)(0.5)^t/4
The value of t from the equation is equal to 22.57 hours.

Which comparison of the two equations is accurate?
sveticcg [70]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (c) Both equations have the same potential solutions, but equation A might have extraneous solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general approach to solving an equation like either of these is to raise both sides of the equation to a power that will remove the radical. In both cases, the result is a quadratic with roots of x=-4 and x=2.

Of these two potential solutions, x = -4 is an extraneous solution for equation A. Both values of x are solutions for equation B. An appropriate description is ...

  Both equations have the same potential solutions, but equation A might have extraneous solutions.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The attached graph shows the equations cast into the form f(x) = 0, so x-intercepts are the solutions to the equation. The radical versions of the equations have only x-intercepts that are actual solutions. The version with the radicals removed is a parabola with two solutions (orange). Only one of those matches the solution to equation A (red). Both match the solutions of equation B (purple).

A quiz bowl has 15 members. Five members are randomly chosen for a match. What is the probability that you and your four friends
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are interested in calculating a probability.

The probability that him and 4 four friends are chosen = the number of him and his four friends/total persons in the quiz bowl

adding him to his four friends make 5 people.

Thus the probability = 5/15 = 1/3
