Answer: d
Step-by-step explanation:
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:
The relationship in this equation is linear, but not proportional. If it was proportional, then replacing x with nx should give ny as the answer. Example:
y = 3x
Replace x with 2x.
y' = 3(2x) = 2(3x) = 2y
y' = 2y
This is proportional. But if you replace x with 2x in
y = 3x + 5,
you will not get 2y for y'. This case is not proportiona
X = 50/2 = 25
answer is 25
Two negatives added or multiplied make a positive.
