Hyphens and Dashes. A hyphen joins two or more words together while a dash separates words into parenthetical statements. The two are sometimes confused because they look so similar, but their usage is different. Hyphens are not separated by spaces, while a dash has a space on either side.
Okay. So I find it easiest to calculate the full area as if the shape was a rectangle, then subtracting open space. We already know that length is 100, so now we just need to find width. 50 + 25 + 50 + 25 + 50 = 200. 200 x 100 =20,000. So now we just need to find the areas of open space and subtract. Both spaces have a length of 75 and a width of 25. 25 x 75 = 1875. There were 2 spaces, and 1875 x 2 = 3,750. 20,000 - 3,750 = 16,250.
The area of the figure is 16,250 feet.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Exponential Growth
</u>
The natural growth of some magnitudes can be modeled by the equation:

Where P is the actual amount of the magnitude, Po is its initial amount, r is the growth rate and t is the time.
The initial number of bacteria is Po=40 and it doubles (P=2Po) at t=20 min. With that point we can find the value of r:

Simplifying:

Solving for 1+r:
![1+r=\sqrt[20]{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1%2Br%3D%5Csqrt%5B20%5D%7B2%7D)

The exponential function that models the situation is:

The correct answer is the second one
x=2
1:Subtract 2x from both sides.
2:Combine 2/3 x and -2x to get -4/3
3:Subtract 3/8 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
4:Multiply both sides by -3/4,the reciprocal of -4/3
5:Multiply − 3/8 times − 4/ 3 by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
6:Do the multiplications in the fraction −8(−3) over 3x4.
x=24/12
Divide 24 by 12 to get 2.
x=2
