Answer:

6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

For Ray

He has 16 pages already

Now he is writing 2 pages per day

let x be the number of days

and y be the total number of pages writen

the linear function for the situation is given as

y=2x+16-------------1

For Claudia

He has 2 pages already

Now he is writing 4 pages per day

let x be the number of days

and y be the total number of pages writen

the linear function for the situation is given as

y=4x+2-------------2

Step two:

let us equate equation 1 and 2 to find x

2x+16=4x+2

collect like terms

2x-4x=2-16

-2x=-12

divide both sides by -2

x=12/2

x=6

Therefore it will take 6 days for them to have the same number of pages

A biologist is researching a newly-discovered species of bacteria. He puts 200 bacteria into what he has determined to be a favo
Olenka [21]

Answer:

354.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential growth:

380 = 200e^(k*9)     where k is a constant to be found.

e^9k = 380/200 = 19/10

ln e^9k = ln 1.9

9k = ln 1.9

k = ln 1.9 / 9

k = 0.071

After 8 hours:

Number of bacteria =

200*e^(8*0.071)

= 354.

Find the x-intercept(s) and the coordinates of the vertex for the parabola
Drupady [299]
The answer
y=−x^2−2x-24 is like the form of y=ax² +bx +c,  to find the vertex we use the formula:
 the x intercept according to the vertex is x=-b/2a, and the vertex V is a point such that V [-b/2a, f(-b/2a)] 
the x intercept is x= -(-2) / 2(-1) =-1, and f(-1)= -1 +2 -24= -23

the vertex is V(-1, -23)

NEED HELP QUICK!! :)
Vlada [557]
Let x and y be your two consecutive whole numbers

x < sqrt(142) < y
x^2 < 142 < y

So, we are looking for x and y such that x^2 < 142 and y^2 > 142.

The closest squared number to 142 is 144 = 12^2.
Next is 11^2 = 121.

11 and 12 are consecutive.

11^2 = 121 < 142 < 144 = 12^2

Thus, 11 and 12 are your numbers
