Answer: according to spark notes: There can be 0, 1, or 2 solutions to a quadratic equation, depending on whether the expression inside the square root sign, (b2 - 4ac), is positive, negative, or zero. This expression has a special name: the discriminant.
In this case it is 0, not 2, which was my first and wrong answer
Anwser: The hotels charge for a call is the same for a 20 minute call.
Step-by-step explanation:
Alrighty, same deal as the last problem, set up a equality, it should look like this:
$1+.80x=$2+.75x
Move the variable to the left of the equation:
.80x-.75x=2-1
Simplify
.05x=1
x=20
The answer to 1/2y+3/2=3y+4 is y= -1
Answer: a) 
b) 25165824000
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential equation for growth is given by :-
, where a= initial value , b =multiplicative growth factor and t = time.
Given : A bacteria culture contains 1500 bacteria initially and doubles every hour.
i.e. a = 1500 and b= 2
Then, the function N that models the number of bacteria after t hours will be :
To find , the number of bacteria after 24 hours , we put t= 24 in above equation , we get
Hence, the number of bacteria after 24 hours is 25165824000.
Answer:
3, 15, 14
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 5x + ( 5x -1) = 32
11x - 1 = 32
11x = 32 + 1
11x = 33
11x/11 = 33/11
x = 3
therefore
the first number is 3
the second is 5 × 3 = 15
the third number is 15 - 1 = 14
