Answer:

  x-intercept: (16, 0)

  y-intercept: (0, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Each intercept is found by setting the other variable to zero and solving for the variable of interest.

I like to find the intercepts from this form because it basically involves dividing the constant by the variable coefficient.

<u>x-intercept</u>

  y = 0, so we have 4x = 64   ⇒   x = 64/4 = 16

  x-intercept is (16, 0)

<u>y-intercept</u>

  x = 0, so we have 8y = 64   ⇒   y = 64/8 = 8

  y-intercept is (0, 8)

<em>Additional comment</em>

There is a form of the linear equation called the "intercept form" that looks like this:

  x/a +y/b = 1

where 'a' is the x-intercept and 'b' is the y-intercept.

You can get this form by dividing the standard form equation by the constant. Here, that gives ...

  4x/64 +8y/64 = 1

  x/16 +y/8 = 1

This is nice because it gives both intercepts with one operation (divide by the constant). It's easy enough to do, but not always easy to explain. This form of the equation of a line is rarely seen.

If the number of bacteria in a colony doubles every 8 hours and there is currently a population of 9,315 bacteria, what will the
Liono4ka [1.6K]

It is given that the bacteria in a colony doubles every 8 hours.

To find the population of bacteria 24 hours from now, we need to find the population of bacteria after every 8 hours.

The present population of the bacteria is 9315.

After 8 hours, the bacteria becomes double. So, the number of bacteria becomes 9315 x 2 = 18630.

Again after 8 hours, the bacteria becomes 18630 x 2 = 37260.

Again after 8 hours, the bacteria becomes 37260 x 2 = 74520.

Thus, after 24 hours from now, the population of the bacteria is 74520.
