Answer:

  • At 1pm, the number of bacteria in the dish is 1,000,000
  • At 12pm, the number of bacteria in the dish is 500,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information on the table

\left|\begin{array}{c|c}$Hour&$Number of Bacteria (in millions)\\---&--------------\\12 p.m.&\\1 p.m.&\\12 p.m.&\\2 p.m.&\\3 p.m.&\\4 p.m.&\\5 p.m.&32\\6 p.m.&64\end{array}\right|

We are to follow the pattern to determine how many million bacteria were in the dish at  1 p.m. and 12 p.m.

Now:

32=2^5\\64=2^6

It therefore means that the bacteria population doubles every hour. Following this pattern and reducing the exponents by 1 backwards, we have:

\left|\begin{array}{c|c}$Hour&$Number of Bacteria (in millions)\\---&--------------\\12 p.m.&2^{-1}=0.5\\1 p.m.&2^0=1\\12 p.m.&2^1=2\\2 p.m.&2^2=4\\3 p.m.&2^3=8\\4 p.m.&2^4=16\\5 p.m.&2^5=32\\6 p.m.&2^6=64\end{array}\right|

Therefore:

  • At 1pm, the number of bacteria in the dish is 1,000,000
  • At 12pm, the number of bacteria is 0.5 million=0.5 X 1,000,000=500,000

X2 – 1x – 90 = 0 has solutions {a, b}. What is a + b?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

a + b =1

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the given quadratic as x^2 – 1x – 90 = 0.  This factors into

(x - 10)(x + 9) = 0, and so the roots/solutions are {-9, 10}.

If we call -9 "a" and 10 "b," then the sum a + b is -9 + 10, or a + b =1.

What is the perpendicular slope to 6/-3
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Perpendicular slope is \frac{3}{6} or \frac{1}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let the perpendicular slope be x.

The given slope is \frac{6}{-3}

For perpendicular slopes, the product of the slopes is equal to -1.

Therefore, x\times \frac{6}{-3}=-1\\-\frac{6}{3}x=-1\\6x=3\\x=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, the perpendicular slope is \frac{3}{6} or \frac{1}{2}.
