Answer:
-6/7
Step-by-step explanation:
5 – 6x = 8x + 17
<=> 5 - 17 = 8x + 6x
<=> -12 = 14x
<=> x = -6/7
Suppose the number of bacteria are increasing exponentially, We can model the number of bacteria at a given time t, using the formula:
f(t)=ae(tk)
where, k=constant of proportionally and a=initial number;
thus;
f(t)=2000e(0.005t)
Therefore the population after 12 hours will be:
f(12)=2000e^(0.005*12)
f(12)=2,123.67=2,123 bacteria
Substitute 51/5x into
Substitute that into
Hope this helps. Answer should be correct. Unless your quadratic equation is wrongly stated.
