The number of bacteria on a piece of toast triples every

Mathematics
1 answer:
Illusion [34]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

You begin with 1 bacteria, and after 1 hour it has tripled so you now have 1 x 3=3.

Next hour, it triples again so you now have 1 x 3 x 3=9

You can see the pattern shows that the number of bacteria is multiplying every hour by a factor of 3. An exponent denotes how many times we are multiplying a number by itself, for example: 34 means we are multiplying the number 3 a total of 4 times (3 x 3 x 3 x 3).

Therefore the question is requiring us to triple the number of bacteria every hour for 24 hours, which means we are multiplying by 3 a total of 24 times. This gives us:

n x 324 where n is the number of bacteria you begin with.

Since you begin with 1 bacteria, the solution is 1 x 3 to the power 24 and u will get ur answer

Lena [83]

Answer:

B.

Mn = Mn-1 + 125 for n > 1 ; M1 = 3,875

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they tell us after 1970, the first data would be that of 1971 and also that if we started since 1970, we do not know the data of 1969, therefore answer B is correct.

Replacing:

Let M1 = 1971 then Mn-1, that is M0 = 1970, we know that the population of 1970 the population is 3750, because it would be 125 less than the subsequent year, and in 1975 there are 3875. Therefore:

in n = 1

 M1 = M0 + 125

3875 = 3750 + 125

this gives an equality, thus fulfilling the equation.
