Answer:

5,120 bacterias

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the amount of bacteria after x hours modelled by the equation:

f(x) = 20(2)^x/12

Note that x is in hours not days

To calculate the number of bacteria that will be contained within the culture after 4 days, we will first convert 4days into hours since x is in hours.

24hours = 1day

xhours = 4days

x = 24×4

x = 96hours

Substituting x = 96 into the equation

f(96) = 20(2)^96/12

f(96) = 20(2)^8

f(96) = 20×2^8

f(96) = 20×256

f(96) = 5,120

The number of bacteria that will be contained after 4days is 5,120bacterias

Find the measure of an angle

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

167º

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angles in an n-gon add up to 180(n-2). So, the interior angles in a 28-gon add up to 180(28-2)=180(26)=4680. To find out the measure of one angle divide 4680 by 29. 4680/28 is about 167.

Which of the following is equivalent to the expression below?

larisa [96]

Answer:

4a^2-6b^2+12

Step-by-step explanation:

(a^2 - 2b^2 + 3) - (4b^2 - 5) + (3a^2 + 4)

distribute the negative sign to each term in the 2nd expression

a^2-2b^2+3-4b^2+5+3a^2+4

combine like terms

4a^2-6b^2+12

Expand and simplify (x+5)(x-2)

salantis [7]

Answer:

${x}^{2} - x - 12 = (x + 3)(x - 4)$

${x}^{2} + 3x + 2 = (x + 2)(x + 1)$

${x}^{2} + 3x - 10 = (x + 5)(x - 2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

F [First terms] - Multiply the first terms in each set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE LEFT

O [Outside terms] - Multiply the first term in the first set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE LEFT by the last term in the second set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE RIGHT

I [Inside terms] - Multiply the last term in the first set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE RIGHT by the first term in the second set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE LEFT

L [Last terms] - Multiply the last terms in each set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE RIGHT

${x}^{2} - x - 12 = {x}^{2} - 4x + 3x - 12$
