Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation: x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0
Here, a = 1, b = 3 and c = -4.
The formula for the discriminant is b^2 - 4(a)(c).
Substituting the given values of a, b and c, we get:
(3)^2 - 4(1)(-4)
Evaluating this, we get 9 + 16 = 25.
The discriminant is 25.
-3 plus or minus √25
Taking this further, x = ------------------------------------
2
-3 plus or minus 5
or: x = -------------------------------- => {-4, 1} (solutions)

Answer:
1.
2.543.6
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
y(0)=200
Let y be the number of bacteria at any time
=Number of bacteria per unit time


Where k=Proportionality constant
2.
,y'(0)=100
Integrating on both sides then, we get

We have y(0)=200
Substitute the values then , we get


Substitute the value of C then we get





Differentiate w.r.t

Substitute the given condition then, we get



Substitute t=2
Then, we get 

e=2.718
Hence, the number of bacteria after 2 hours=543.6
She will have four pound left because 2 times 3 is 6 and 10 minus 6 is 4
