Answer:

19

20

21

Explanation:

Givens

Let the first integer = x - 1

Let the second    = x

Let the third = x + 1

Equation

x - 1 + x + x + 1 = 3x

Solution

3x = 2(x + 1) + 18                Remove the brackets

3x = 2x + 2 + 18                 Combine the terms on the right

3x = 2x + 20                      Subtract 2 x from both sides

x = 20

x - 1 = 19

x +1 = 21

Check

Sum = 60

2*Largest number = 42

18 more than 42 = 60

a+(a+1)+(a+2)=18+2(a+2)

a+a+1+a+2 = 18 + 2a + 4

3a + 3 = 22 + 2a

a + 3 = 22

a = 19

There, we found it.

Therefore, the integers are 19, 20, and 21.

  1. The initial number of bacteria present is equal to 270 bacteria.
  2. The number of bacteria that will be in the petty dish after 12 hours is 167818 bacteria.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

An exponential function can be defined as a mathematical function whose values are generated by a constant that is raised to the power of the argument. Mathematically, an exponential function is represented by this formula:

f(x) = eˣ

<h3>How to calculate the initial number of bacteria?</h3>

B(t) = 150e^0.585t

When t = 1, we have:

B(1) = 150e^0.585(1)

B(1) = 150e^0.585

B(1) = 269.25 ≈ 270 bacteria.

<h3>How many bacteria will be in the petty dish after 12 hours?</h3>

B(12) = 150e^0.585(12)

B(12) = 150e^7.02

B(12) = 167817.99 ≈ 167818 bacteria.

Compare and contrast what impact does genetics have on happiness?
ollegr [7]
According to science, yes – happiness, indeed, has a heritable component. It’s a finding that is surprising and not surprising at the same time. It's surprising because of our culturally-sanctioned convictions that with our choices, thoughts, and behavior, we have the final say on how well we function in our lives, not our circumstances. But it's also not surprising because if our genes play a part in shaping who we are in the world, they will also have a say in how we pursue and find happiness. People might inherit genes that put them in advantageous or less favorable positions. Depression is genetic...
