Is there more to this question or no?
Given:
The growth of a sample of bacteria can be modeled by the function
where, b is the number of bacteria and t is time in hours.
To find:
The number of total bacteria after 3 hours.
Solution:
We have,
where, b is the number of bacteria and t is time in hours.
Substituting t=3, we get the number of total bacteria after 3 hours.
Number of bacteria cannot be decimal value. So, approximate the value to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, the number of total bacteria after 3 hours is about 3003.
11. Factoring and solving equations
- A. Factor-
1. Factor 3x2 + 6x if possible.
Look for monomial (single-term) factors first; 3 is a factor of both 3x2
and 6x and so is x . Factor them out to get
3x2 + 6x = 3(x2 + 2x1 = 3x(x+ 2) .
2. Factor x2 + x - 6 if possible.
Here we have no common monomial factors. To get the x2 term
we'll have the form (x +-)(x +-) . Since
(x+A)(x+B) = x2 + (A+B)x + AB ,
we need two numbers A and B whose sum is 1 and whose product is
-6 . Integer possibilities that will give a product of -6 are
-6 and 1, 6 and -1, -3 and 2, 3 and -2.
The only pair whose sum is 1 is (3 and -2) , so the factorization is
x2 + x - 6 = (x+3)(x-2) .
3. Factor 4x2 - 3x - 10 if possible.
Because of the 4x2 term the factored form wli be either
(4x+A)(x +B) or (2x+A)(2x+B) . Because of the -10 the integer possibilities
for the pair A, B are
10 and -1 , -10 and 1 , 5 and -2 . -5 and 2 , plus each of
these in reversed order.
Check the various possibilities by trial and error. It may help to write
out the expansions
(4x + A)(x+ B) = 4x2 + (4B+A)x + A8
1 trying to get -3 here
(2x+A)(2x+B) = 4x2 + (2B+ 2A)x + AB
Trial and error gives the factorization 4x2 - 3x - 10 - (4x+5)(x- 2) .
4. Difference of two squares. Since (A + B)(A - B) = - B~ , any
expression of the form A' - B' can be factored. Note that A and B
might be anything at all.
Examples: 9x2 - 16 = (3x1' - 4' = (3x +4)(3x - 4)
x2 - 29 = x2 - (my)* = (x+ JTy)(x- my)
Answer:
(-1, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve using substitution, you have to know the value of either x or y. in this example, they gave you the value of y already: y=x+4.
this means you can substitute the y for (x+4). if we substitute y for (x+4) in the equation y=-5x-2, we get this:
(x+4)=-5x-2
then solve for x
6x=-6
so x=-1
since we know the x value, we can solve for y
y=x+4
y=-1+4
y=3
so the final answer is (-1, 3)
Answer:
80 people preferred apples, and 110 people preferred strawberries.
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentages can also be expressed as a fraction in decimal form. So 32% is equal to 0.32. In order to get the value for the percentage of a number, you multiply the decimal of the percentage by the number. So for apples: 32% of 250 is 0.32 multiplied by 250, and you get 80. For strawberries: 0.44 times 250 equals 110.
