Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- Initial amount of bacteria = 50000
- Growth rate = 2 times a day
<u>Required equation:</u>
<u>Solve for x:</u>
- 400000 = 50000*2^x
- 2^x = 400000/50000
- 2^x = 8
- 2^x = 2^3
- x = 3
After 3 days bacteria numbers will reach 400000
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll call the 2 numbers x and y. Starting with the last part of that first sentence "one number is 10 times the other number" can be written, in algebraic form:
y = 10x
Now on to the first statement about the numbers: "twice their sum" is 2(x + y) and "equals their product" is = xy. Putting that all together:
2(x + y) = xy and we know that y = 10x so
2(x + 10x) = x(10x) and
and
and
x(10x - 22) = 0 so
x = 0 or 10x - 22 = 0 which makes
x equal to 
So x = 2.2 and y = 22.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Completing the square</u>
when 
Given equation:

Subtract 40 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 3:

Add the square of half the coefficient of
to both sides:


Factor the left side and simplify the right side:

Square root both sides:

Add 4 to both sides and simplify the radical:



Answer:
y = 2/3x
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 2y = 6
2y = 6 - 3x
y = 3 - 3x/2 or y = - 3/2x + 3
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Then find the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line.
y = 2/3x
