Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Much depends on how accurate an estimate you want.

If "to the nearest hundred" would be acceptable (it's a lot of work),

Round off 542817 to 542820 and 27398 to 2740. Then you'd want to subtract 2740 from 542820. (Again, it's a lot of work.)

Otherwise round off to the nearest thousand: 543000 - 27000.

Or go to the nearest ten thousand: 540,000 - 30,000 = 510,000 (estimate)

If y = 8(2. 4)* represents the number of bacteria in a culture at time t, how

andriy [413]

Answer:

21134 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parametrs can be interpreted as:

$y = 8(2.4)^t$

Required

Find y when t = 9

Substitute $t = 9$

So:

$y = 8(2.4)^9$

$y = 8 * 2.4^9$

$y = 8 * 2641.81$

$y = 21134.48$

$y = 21134$ --- approximated

<em>Hence, there are 21134 bacteria</em>

Write an equation of the line in slope intercept form that pass through the two

mrs_skeptik [129]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{15})\qquad
(\stackrel{x_2}{9}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-18})
\\\\\\
slope = m\implies
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-18-15}{9-(-2)}\implies \cfrac{-33}{9+2}\implies \cfrac{-33}{11}\implies -3
\\\\\\
\begin{array}{|c|ll}
\cline{1-1}
\textit{point-slope form}\\
\cline{1-1}
\\
y-y_1=m(x-x_1)
\\\\
\cline{1-1}
\end{array}\implies y-15=-3[x-(-2)]\implies y-15=-3(x+2)
\\\\\\
y-15=-3x-6\implies y=-3x+9$
