Answer:
Yi Xing invented the astronomical clock and introduced some new methods of interpolation in mathematics.
Step-by-step explanation:
Yi Xing was both an astronomer and a mathematician during the era. He invented the astronomical clock which was more accurate than the initial water and Sun's clock in use.
Furthermore, Yi Xing also discovered some new methods of interpolation in mathematics of which the meaning and interpretation became controversial. Interpolation is a method majorly in mathematics that can be used to estimate a value of a function from its discrete values. It involves first order differences and second order differences.
Also, Yi Xing was able to design a calendar in A.D. 727.

Answer:
y +6 = (-1/3)(x +6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a point and a slope, it is appropriate to use the point-slope form to represent the equation:
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
For your point and slope, the equation is ...
y -(-6) = -1/3(x -(-6))
y +6 = -1/3(x +6)
__
Of course, this can be rearranged to whatever form you need.
y = -1/3x -8 . . . . slope-intercept form
x +3y = -24 . . . . standard form
So we are given the equation
y = 79.31(1.48)ˣ
Whereas the x represents the number of days <--- what you need to know
y is the final number you are going to get, does not matter for now
You are trying to find the number of bacteria on Day 8
Put 8 into x

1.48⁸ = 23.019
79.31 * 23.019 = 1825.667
