Answer:
7 days
Step-by-step explanation:
At 25% per day, it will take approximately 3 days to double the population, so approximately 6 days for the population to quadruple. Checking that number, we find it is not quite enough for the experiment, so another day is required.
"Guess and check" as a method of solution works especially well if you have an automated checker to evaluate your guess. A graphing calculator or spreadsheet can work well for this.
_____
We guess 3 days as the doubling time using the "rule of 72" that says the product of percentage and doubling time is about 72. That is, 72/25 ≈ 3. (This is only a very rough approximation of doubling time, best for rates near 8%.)
Answer:
w = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by
P = 2(l+w)
28 = 2(2w-1 + w)
Combine like terms
28 =2(3w-1)
Divide each side by 2
28/2 = 2/2(3w-1)
14 = 3w-1
Add 1 to each side
14+1 = 3w-1+1
15 = 3w
Divide each side by 3
15/3 =3w/3
5 =w
Answer:
(-4, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Y = 0 + 2
Since it is a horizontal line, the slope is m = 0.
For the y-intercept, the line passes through 2 so therefore, the y-intercept is 2 positive.
