Answer:
Marco- 10 is the starting value of the population. 2 is the growth rate of "double each day" with d as an exponent.
Isabella- 1 is the starting population. 1+0.2=1.2 is the rate at which it grows each day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Marco's equation should be
since the bacteria double each day. 10 is the starting value of the population. 2 is the growth rate of "double each day" with d as an exponent. This will double each day because:
Day 1 is 
Day 2 is 
Day 3 is 
Day 4 is 
You'll notice the value doubles each day.
Isabella has a different equation because her population increases by a percentage. We use the simple interest formula to calculate the bacteria's daily increase or interest.
1(1+0.2)d
1 is the starting population.
1+0.2=1.2 is the rate at which it grows each day.
Y=mx+b where m=slope=(dy/dx) and b=y-intercept (value of y when x=0)
You have two points...(1,-2),(3,2) so
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(2--2)/(3-1)
m=4/2=2 now that you have the slope...
y=2x+b, you can use either point to solve for the y-intercept, I'll use (3,2)
2=2(3)+b
2=6+b
b=-4 so the line is:
y=2x-4
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
-10 opposite is 10 which this \ or | means the its positive number. So 10 +6 is 16
