A scientist is growing bacteria in a lab for study. One particular type of bacteria grows at a rate of y=2t^2+3t+500. A differen

Leya [2.2K]

ANSWER

Approximately after 15 minutes.

EXPLANATION

The growth rate of the first bacteria is

$y = 2 {t}^{2} + 3t + 500$

The growth rate of the first bacteria :

$y = 3 {t}^{2} + t + 300$

To find the time that, there will be an equal number of bacteria, we equate the two equation;

$3 {t}^{2} + t + 300 = 2 {t}^{2} + 3t + 500$

$3 {t}^{2} - 2 {t}^{2} + t - 3t + 300 - 500 =00$

${t}^{2} - 2t - 200= 0$

We solve for t to get,

$t = 15.177$

$t = - 13.177$

We discard the negative value.

This implies that,

$t \approx15$

HELP PLEASE????????????????????

Answer:

20x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have the length and height of the rectangle we just multiply each by 2. This is because the length is the same on both sides and the height is too. The equation would look like this:

(5x-4 + 5x -4) + (5x +5x) = 10x -8 + 10 x = 20x -8
