Answer:

The answer is 51,200 bacterium.

Step-by-step explanation: So you need to figure out the time between 12 and 6pm, then divide it by 40. 12-6 is 360 minutes, you divide by 40 and you get 9 divisions. Multiply the 100 x 2=200, 200 x 2 =400, and so on for 9 times.

You get a result of 51,200 bacterium.

SOLVE x^4 − 15x^2 − 16 = 0 <br> What are the roots of the equation?
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

roots : 4, -4, i, -i

Step-by-step explanation:

This gets a bit tricky.

We have to substitude x^2 as u in this problem.

Now to rewrite x^4 − 15x^2 − 16 = 0 with u, we get

u^2 - 15u - 16 = 0

( u - 16) (u + 1)

U = 16

U = -1

<em>This is not the end of the problem. </em>

Now we have to substitute x^2 back to u.

x^2 = 16  --> we get the roots 4 and -4

x^2 = -1 --> we get the roots i and -i

Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. Using this, we can set up an equation.

Angle 1 + Angle 2=180
124+(2x+4)=180
2x+128=180
2x=52
x=26

The value of x is 26
