Given that there were 30 bacteria present originally.
a=30
Also given that the number doubles every one hour.
After one hour the count =2×30=60
Since the count doubles every hour it forms a G.P. with r=2
a,ar,ar2........
The count at the end of 2nd hour=ar^2=30×2^2=120
The count at the end of 4th hour=ar^4=30×2^4=480
The count at the end of 8th hour=ar^8n=30×2^8=7680
etc.
The count at the end of n^th hour=ar^n=30×2^n
Also, the equation y=30*(2)^8/1 give the same result y= 7680
Answer:
B: $2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: form an equation
126 = 12(8 + x)
Step 2: isolate the x
126/12 = 8 + x
126/12 - 8 = x
Step 3: solve
10.5 - 8 = x
2.5 = x = raise per hour
Answer: (x=+17)
Step-by-step explanation:
x+35=3x+1
We move all terms to the left:
x+35-(3x+1)=0
We get rid of parentheses
x-3x-1+35=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-2x+34=0
We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
-2x=-34
x=-34/-2
x=+17
Median; 12
mean; 13
mode; 12, 19
