Answer:

If rounded to the nearest 10 bacteria, then it would be 500 bacteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

First multiply 150 by two in order to get 300, that leaves 4 hours to figure out. From there you can figure out the rest by seeing that 4 is 2/3 of 6. I converted it into the decimal number .66. Multiply 300 by .66 to get 198 and then add it to 300 to get 498. Then just round it up to the nearest 10 bacteria which leaves you with the final answer of 500 bacteria.

The graph below represents the solution set of which inequality?
natulia [17]

Answer:

option: B (x^2+2x-8) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the solution set as seen from the graph as:

(-4,2)

1)

On solving the first inequality we have:

x^2-2x-8

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2-4x+2x-8

⇒  x(x-4)+2(x-4)=0

⇒ (x+2)(x-4)

And we know that the product of two quantities are negative if either one of them is negative so we have two cases:

case 1:

x+2>0 and x-4

i.e. x>-2 and x<4

so we have the region as:

(-2,4)

Case 2:

x+2 and x-4>0

i.e. x<-2 and x>4

Hence, we did not get a common region.

Hence from both the cases we did not get the required region.

Hence, option 1 is incorrect.

2)

We are given the second inequality as:

x^2+2x-8

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2+4x-2x-8

⇒ x(x+4)-2(x+4)

⇒ (x-2)(x+4)

And we know that the product of two quantities are negative if either one of them is negative so we have two cases:

case 1:

x-2>0 and x+4

i.e. x>2 and x<-4

Hence, we do not get a common region.

Case 2:

x-2 and x+4>0

i.e. x<2 and x>-4

Hence the common region is (-4,2) which is same as the given option.

Hence, option B is correct.

3)

x^2-2x-8>0

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2-4x+2x-8>0

⇒ x(x-4)+2(x-4)>0

⇒ (x-4)(x+2)>0

And we know that the product of two quantities are positive if either both of them are negative or both of them are positive so we have two cases:

Case 1:

x+2>0 and x-4>0

i.e. x>-2 and x>4

Hence, the common region is (4,∞)

Case 2:

x+2 and x-4

i.e. x<-2 and x<4

Hence, the common region is: (-∞,-2)

Hence, from both the cases we did not get the desired answer.

Hence, option C is incorrect.

4)

x^2+2x-8>0

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2+4x-2x-8>0

⇒ x(x+4)-2(x+4)>0

⇒ (x-2)(X+4)>0

And we know that the product of two quantities are positive if either both of them are negative or both of them are positive so we have two cases:

Case 1:

x-2 and x+4

i.e. x<2 and x<-4

Hence, the common region is: (-∞,-4)

Case 2:

x-2>0 and x+4>0

i.e. x>2 and x>-4.

Hence, the common region is: (2,∞)

Hence from both the case we do not have the desired region.

Hence, option D is incorrect.
