The number of mold spores on a piece of bread after a different amount of time or listed in the table below

Mathematics

Margaret [11]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table attached,

Ratio of spores in day 2 and day 1 = \frac{400}{200}

                                                         = 2

Ratio of spores in day 3 and day 2 = \frac{800}{400}

                                                          = 2

There is a common ratio of 2 in each successive to the previous term of the Mold spores.

Therefore, spores are growing exponentially.

Let the function representing exponential function is,

y = a(b)ˣ

Here, y = Number of spores after time 'x'

x = Number of days

a and b are the constants.

On day 1,

x = 1

y = 200

By substituting these values in the exponential function,

200 = a(b)¹

ab = 200 -------(1)

On day 2,

x = 2

y = 400

400 = a(b)² -------(2)

Divide equation 2 by equation 1,

\frac{400}{200}=\frac{ab^{2} }{ab}

b = 2

By substituting the value of b in equation (1),

a(2) = 200

a = 100

Therefore, equation of the function will be,

y = 100(2)ˣ

Option (4) will be the answer.

Seven times the sum of 4 and some number is 42
Naddik [55]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

7\times{(4+x)}=42

Divide both sides by 7:

4+x=42\div{7}\\4+x=6

Subtract 4 from both sides:

x=6-4\\x=2
