using the LCD method.... well, there are a couple of ways, but let's simply add them up.
well, the denominators are 5x and 2x... so the only LCD will just be 10x, since it's divisible by both, so let's use that one.
This can be expressed as exponential growth of the form:
f=ir^t, f=final amount, i=initial amount, r=common ratio (rate), t=time
In this case we are given the point (2, 6500) and i=5000 so we can solve for the rate...
6500=5000r^2 divide both sides by 5000
1.3=r^2 take the square root of both sides and note that we know r>0
r=1.3^(1/2) so our equation becomes:
f=5000(1.3)^(1/2)^t and knowing that (a^b)^c=a^(b*c) we can say:
f=5000(1.3)^(t/2) so for t=18
f=5000(1.3)^9
f≈53022 (to nearest whole bacteria)
3/1 is the slope............,
Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 is it's length while in the perinthesis is x for its length plus the width which is doubled, explained by the x.
