Answer:

5 generations

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Number of bacteria at the beginning of a time interval , B = 4

Number of bacteria at the end of the time interval, b = 128

Now,

The relation between the bacteria at the beginning, bacteria at the end and the number of generations (n) is given as:

b = B × 2ⁿ

Therefore,

on substituting the respective values, we get

128 = 4 × 2ⁿ

or

2ⁿ = 32

or

2ⁿ = 2⁵

or

n = 5

hence,

5 generations

Determine whether each relation is a function. Explain. {(2,0), (2, 2), (2, 4), (2, 6)}​
inysia [295]
A function is the relationship between an independent variable (x) and a dependent variable (y). A function can only occur when the independent variable are limited to one use. A function in this case is determined by the { } symbol.

This example is not a function, as the independent variable (2) appears more than once.

The rule is that the independent variable(x) cannot appear more than once as the same value and the dependant variable(y) can appear more than once as the same value.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The answer is : Collision

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex would have to pay collision deductible before he receives a payment from the insurance company.

A deductible is any amount that you have to pay out of pocket when you make a claim.

Collision deductible comes to effect when your vehicle is damaged in an accident. This pays the cost of repairing the vehicle minus the amount of your deductible.
