Answer:
B, The initial number of bacteria increases at a rate of 24% each day.
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the answer is B because it is the one that closely matches the problem. 312 is multiplied by 1.24 with an exponent. Just eyeballing it, it's multiplied by itself and then an increase of 24%. Also, none of the other statements seem to be correct, D not even making sense in the scope of the problem. Hope this helps, good luck.
Simplify the following:
((x^2 - 11 x + 30) (x^2 + 6 x + 5))/((x^2 - 25) (x - 5 x - 6))
The factors of 5 that sum to 6 are 5 and 1. So, x^2 + 6 x + 5 = (x + 5) (x + 1):
((x + 5) (x + 1) (x^2 - 11 x + 30))/((x^2 - 25) (x - 5 x - 6))
The factors of 30 that sum to -11 are -5 and -6. So, x^2 - 11 x + 30 = (x - 5) (x - 6):
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/((x^2 - 25) (x - 5 x - 6))
x - 5 x = -4 x:
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/((x^2 - 25) (-4 x - 6))
Factor -2 out of -4 x - 6:
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3) (x^2 - 25))
x^2 - 25 = x^2 - 5^2:
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/(-2 (x^2 - 5^2) (2 x + 3))
Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 5^2 = (x - 5) (x + 5):
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/(-2(x - 5) (x + 5) (2 x + 3))
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/((x - 5) (x + 5) (-2) (2 x + 3)) = ((x - 5) (x + 5))/((x - 5) (x + 5))×((x - 6) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3)) = ((x - 6) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3)):
((x - 6) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3))
Multiply numerator and denominator of ((x - 6) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3)) by -1:
Answer: (-(x - 6) (x + 1))/(2 (2 x + 3))

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Given
y = x² - 6x + 3
To complete the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 6x
y = x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 - 9 + 3
= (x - 3)² - 6 ← in vertex form
• If a > 0 then vertex is a minimum
• If a < 0 then vertex is a maximum
Here a = 1 > 0, thus
(3, - 6 ) is a minimum
Step-by-step explanation:
66. Δy = -3.4 Δx
Δy/Δx = -3.4
The slope of the line is -3.4. Slope-intercept equation of the line is:
y = -3.4x + b
Plug in the given point to find b:
2 = -3.4(4) + b
b = 15.6
Therefore, the equation is y = -3.4x + 15.6.
Use the equation to find the y coordinates.
68. Repeat the same steps as 66.
Δy = -1.7 Δx
Δy/Δx = -1.7
The slope of the line is -1.7. Slope-intercept equation of the line is:
y = -1.7x + b
Plug in the given point to find b:
3 = -1.7(-7) + b
b = -8.9
Therefore, the equation is y = -1.7x − 8.9.
Use the equation to find the x or y coordinates.
