Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for doubling time is given as:

P(t) = Po(2)^t/k

Where:

P(t) = Population after time t = 28,284

Po = Initial Population = 20,000

t = time = 3 days

k = doubling time = ?

28,284 = 20,000 × (2)^3/k

Divide both sides by 20,000

28,284/20,000 = 20,000/20,000 × (2)^3/k

1.4142 = (2)^3/k

2^1/2 = (2)^3/k

Divide both sides by 2

1/2 = 3/k

Cross Multiply

k × 1 = 2 × 3

k = 6

Therefore, the doubling time(k) of the bacteria is 6

Find the slope of the line that passes through G(−3, 2) and H(7, 2).
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

y=0x+2 meaning the slope is equal to 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If you think about this question you'll see that our two points have the same y coordinate

This means that the slope is equal to 0

so we have

y=0x+b  

If we plug in -3 for x and set the equation equal to 2 we can find b

0+b=2

b=2

so we have

0x+b=y

Hope this helps!
