Answer:
Yes, twice
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation will intersect the x-axis when y = 0, so we have
x² - 4x = -3 now solve this quadratic for x...
x² - 4x + 3 = 0
factor...
(x - 3)(x - 1) = 0,
so at x = 1 and x = 3, the function crosses the x-axis
See the graph below
Given that the volume of a cell is 50 cubic micrometers. It says to find the number of cells present in 1 cubic centimeter.
So we need to first convert the units of volume of a cell, then we can find the total number of cells in 1 cubic centimeter.
We know 1 meter = 100 centimeters = 1000000 micrometers
So 1 centimeter = 10000 micrometers
Taking Cubic powers on both sides :-
1 cubic centimeters = 10¹² cubic micrometers
1 cubic micrometers = 10⁻¹² cubic centimeters
50 cubic micrometers = 50 × 10⁻¹² = 5 × 10⁻¹¹ cubic centimeters
So volume of one cell = 5 × 10⁻¹¹ cubic centimeters
Number of cells = = 2 × 10¹⁰ cells.
So, total number of cells = 2 × 10¹⁰ cells.
