<span>Assuming the reaction is of 1st order, we can start using the formula for rate of 1st order reaction:</span>

dN / dt = k * N

Rearranging,

dN / N = k dt

Where N = amount of sample, k = rate constant, t = time

Integrating the equation from N = Ni to Nf and t = ti to tf will result in:

ln (Nf / Ni) = k (tf – ti)

Since k is constant, we can equate to situations. Situation 1 is triple in size every days, situation 2 is after 20 days.

ln (Nf / Ni) / (tf – ti) = k

ln (3Ni / Ni) / 4 = ln (Nf / 40) / 20

Calculating for Nf,

<span>Nf = 9,720 bacteria </span>

Answer:

The size of the bacteria colony after 20 days = 9720

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bacteria micro organism at the starting = 40

Now, The size of the bacteria colonies triple in size every 4 days

and we need to find the size of the bacteria colony after 20 days.

So, after 4 days the size of bacteria colony = 40 × 3

                                                                        = 120

After 8 days, The size of the bacteria colony = 120 × 3

                                                                           = 360

After 12 days, The size of the bacteria colony = 360 × 3

                                                                            = 1080

After 16 days, The size of the bacteria colony = 1080 × 3

                                                                            = 3240

After 20 days, The size of the bacteria colony = 3240 × 3

                                                                                = 9720

Therefore, The size of the bacteria colony after 20 days = 9720

Answer:

x^6y^3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given polynomial:</u>

  • 8x^6y^5 - 3x^8y^3

<u>Get prime factors:</u>

  • 2*2*2*x*x*x*x*x*x*y*y*y*y*y - 3*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*y*y*y

<u>Common factors of the two terms:</u>

  • x*x*x*x*x*x*y*y*y = x^6y^3

<u>So</u>

  • x^6y^3(8y^2 - 3x^2)

x^6y^3 is the GCF of this polynomial

Answer:

isosceles triangle means all equal sides and sum of interior angles of a triangle have to add to 180deg. if you draw a triangle with 3 equal 60 deg angles and draw a line from the top angle straight down to the bottom line, basically dividing the triangle into two even ones. then you can say the line or bisector line from the angle makes a 90deg with the bottom line across from angle the line is drawn out of. so then that makes two even and equal triangles, then the measure of the angles will be 90deg from bisector line + 60deg from angle untouched + 30deg from bisector angle = 180 degs for sum of interior angles in both triangles now proving the altitude from the base of an isosceles triangle is also the angle bisector of that angle.
