It is 1000 because you multiple
So we are given the equation
y = 79.31(1.48)ˣ
Whereas the x represents the number of days <--- what you need to know
y is the final number you are going to get, does not matter for now
You are trying to find the number of bacteria on Day 8
Put 8 into x

1.48⁸ = 23.019
79.31 * 23.019 = 1825.667
Your answer would be A.
Answer:
x = 3 and -2 are the two solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2 -2x -12 = 0
First factor out a 2
2(x^2 - x - 6) = 0
2(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0
2 = 0 x - 3 = 0 x + 2 = 0
2 does not equal zero so this is an extraneous solution
x - 3 = 0 so x = 3
x + 2 = 0 so x = -2
