Answer:
The initial number of bacteria in the culture was 1949
Step-by-step explanation:
The relative growth rate for a certain type of bacteria population is 78% per hour.
As we know the growth of bacteria is exponential function.

where,
P is population of bacteria after n hours.
P₀ is initial population.
r is rate of growth per hour
n is number of hours
A small culture has formed and in just 5 hours the count shows to be 34,820 bacteria in the culture.
P = 34820 , n = 5 , r = 0.78



Hence, The initial number of bacteria in the culture was 1949

NaCI I’m not sure if that is the correct answer
4x + 13y = 40
4x + 3y = -40
multiply second equation by -1
4x + 13y = 40
-4x - 3y = 40
add equations together
10y = 80
y = 8
put y in either original equation
4x + 3(8) = -40
4x + 24 = -40
subtract 24 from both sides
4x = 64
x=16
y=8
6 * 2.5 = 15 That’s the area of the base
2.5 * 4 = 10
10 * 2 = 20
That’s the area of the 2 smaller sides
6 * 4 = 24
24 * 2 = 48
That’s the area of the 2 larger sides
Then you add all the dimensions together.
15+20+48 = 83.
So, the final equation is (6*2.5) + 2(2.5*4) + 2(6*4) = 83
6 x 2/2 = 6, because 2/2 is 1 and 6x1 is 6
