Bacteria can multiply at an alarming rate when each bacteria splits into two new cells, thus doubling. If we start with only one

bacteria which can double every hour, how many bacteria will we have by the end of one day? Show your work.

Answer:

y = a(b)^t

Where a =1 represent the initial amount of bacteria and b =2 represent the growth factor, for this case since each hour we double the number of bacteria for this reason b =2. And t represent the number of hours after the first bacteria is founded.

So then our model would be given by:

y = 1 (2)^t

And since we want to find the number of bacteria at the end of one day, and we know that one day = 24 hours we can replace the value of t =24 into the model and we got:

f(24) = 1 (2)^{24}=16777216

Then we can conclude that at the end of the day we would expect 16777216 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can use the exponential model given by this general expression:

y = a(b)^t

Where a =1 represent the initial amount of bacteria and b =2 represent the growth factor, for this case since each hour we double the number of bacteria for this reason b =2. And t represent the number of hours after the first bacteria is founded.

So then our model would be given by:

y = 1 (2)^t

And since we want to find the number of bacteria at the end of one day, and we know that one day = 24 hours we can replace the value of t =24 into the model and we got:

f(24) = 1 (2)^{24}=16777216

Then we can conclude that at the end of the day we would expect 16777216 bacteria

What are the coordinates for point A
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

(4, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

You first go to the x axis (The one going left and round). From this, you can see the point is on 4 for the x axis. After that, you look at the y axis (The one going up and down). From this, you can see it is -2. In all, you put it in coordinate form which gives you (4, -2). I hope this helps you!

Mai and Tyler work on the equation 2/5b+1=-11 together. Mais soulution is b=-25 and Tyler’s is b=-28. Here is their work. Do you
Anika [276]

Answer:

No I don't agree with their solution; both their answers are wrong.

Correct answer is b=-30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\frac{2}{5}b+1=-11

Now given:

According to Mai b = -25 and According to Tyler b = -28

Now we need to find which of them is correct.

So we will solve the given equation we get;

\frac{2}{5}b+1=-11

Subtracting both side by 1 we get;

\frac{2}{5}b+1-1=-11-1\\\\\frac{2}{5}b =-12

Now Multiplying both side \frac{5}{2} we get;

\frac{2}{5}b\times\frac{5}{2}= -12 \times \frac{5}{2}\\\\b=-6\times 5\\\\b=-30

Hence both of them are incorrect, correct answer is b=-30.

Prove that the figure is a parallelogram. If so, classify the parallelogram. Be specific and justify your answer.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is a parallelogram the opposite sides will a have the same slope.

Using the diagram  we see from the coordinates of A and B:

Slope of AB = (5 - -1)/(-1 - -5)

= 6/4

= 3/2.

In the same way

slope of CD = (2 - -4) / (1 - -3)

= 3/2.

So AB and  CD can be shown to be parallel.

Similarly the lines BC and AD are parallel.

So the figure is a parallelogram

Finding the perimeter (counting the units between the points):

Perimeter = 2AB + 2BC

By Pythagoras:

AB =   sqrt (6^2 + 4^2) = sqrt 52

BC = sqrt (3^2 + 2^2) = sqrt 13

So Perimeter = 2sqrt52 + 2sqrt13

= 4sqrt13 + 2 sqrt13

= 6sqrt13

or 21.63 unit^2 to 2 decimal places.

Area = sqrt52 * perpendicular distance between the lines AB and CD.
