Answer:
the answer is 6 I think sorry if its wrong
M < 1 = m < 1 -- reflexive ( or identity) property of equality
if m <ABC = m < XYZ, then 5 * m<ABC = 5 * m<XYZ -- multiplication property of equality
Answer:
Population of bacteria four hours later
or nearest whole number

Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Let amount of bacteria four hours later is=A
Rate of increase of bacteria per hour 
Initial population of bacteria is =54
Time 4 hours
Find the population of bacteria 4 hours later
Solution,

![\left [ x \right ]_{54}^{A}=4.0565/1.3\left [e^{1.3t} \right ]_{0}^{4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%20%5B%20x%20%5Cright%20%5D_%7B54%7D%5E%7BA%7D%3D4.0565%2F1.3%5Cleft%20%5Be%5E%7B1.3t%7D%20%20%5Cright%20%5D_%7B0%7D%5E%7B4%7D)




Population of bacteria 4 hours later is
We are given the expression:
(17.6^-1)^8 = 17.6 ^ -8
This means that the two terms on each side are equal. We are asked to show how this is possible.
First, use the rule of exponents. If a term raised to the power of a number x^n and is further raised to the power m: (x^n)^m, to simplify the expression, multiply n and m and this will be your end exponent = x^nm.
We can apply this rule here:
17.6^-1 ^ 8
-1 * 8 = -8
then, retain the base and replace the exponent with the product nm:
17.6 ^-8. This proves that the left term is equal to the right term. <span />
