Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

where
x is the time in hours
y is the numbers of bacteria
a is the initial value
b is the base
r is the rate of growth
b=(1+r)
we have that

For x=8, y=3,300
substitute in the exponential function

solve for b

![b=\sqrt[8]{1.1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%3D%5Csqrt%5B8%5D%7B1.1%7D)

Find the value of r

The equation is equal to

For x=12 hours
substitute the value of x in the equation


Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
10:12 and 30:36
you can simplify them first so
10:12=5:6
and
30:36=5:6 which is equivalent to the other ratio
or you can do
10:12
10 times 3 is 30 30:36 12 times 3 is 36
Combine like terms (5y and -y= 4y) and the simplest form would be 4y+7
