<h3>Given</h3>
... f(x) = x² -4x +1
<h3>Find</h3>
... a) f(-8)
... b) f(x+9)
... c) f(-x)
<h3>Solution</h3>
In each case, put the function argument where x is, then simplify.
a) f(-8) = (-8)² -4(-8) +1 = 64 +32 + 1 = 97
b) f(x+9) = (x+9)² -4(x+9) +1
... = x² +18x +81 -4x -36 +1
... f(x+9) = x² +14x +46
c) f(-x) = (-x)² -4(-x) +1
... f(-x) = x² +4x +1
This can be expressed as exponential growth of the form:
f=ir^t, f=final amount, i=initial amount, r=common ratio (rate), t=time
In this case we are given the point (2, 6500) and i=5000 so we can solve for the rate...
6500=5000r^2 divide both sides by 5000
1.3=r^2 take the square root of both sides and note that we know r>0
r=1.3^(1/2) so our equation becomes:
f=5000(1.3)^(1/2)^t and knowing that (a^b)^c=a^(b*c) we can say:
f=5000(1.3)^(t/2) so for t=18
f=5000(1.3)^9
f≈53022 (to nearest whole bacteria)
Answer: of each shape? 3 & 4?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=0.129171
x=3.87083
Step-by-step explanation:
5/9* 32
= (5*32)/9
= 160/9
= (153+ 7)/9
= 153/9+ 7/9
= 17+ 7/9
= 17 7/9
The final answer is 17 7/9~
