B. 1/4(n - 64)
Multiplying n and -64 by 1/4 leaves you with 1/4n - 16, the original equation.
Answer:
A) The 75 is the initial number of cells, and the 2 indicates that the number of cells doubles every minute
Step-by-step explanation:
When x=0 (no minutes have elapsed), the value of the function is ...
f(0) = 75(2^0) = 75(1) = 75 . . . . the initial number of cells
As x increases by 1 (minute), the number of cells is multiplied by 2, so the 2 is the multiplier each minute. It indicates the number doubles. ("double" = "multiply by 2")
x is not defined, but for the function to make any sense, it must represent elapsed minutes.
Answer:
(-12,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 4y = -16
2y - x = 16
Multiply the bottom part by 2.
2x + 4y = -16
4y - 2x = 32
Add the equations and the answers to the equations up, and they will equal each other.
(2x + 4y) + (4y - 2x) = -16 + 32
8y = 16
y = 2
Plug y = 2 to the 2nd equation.
2*2 - x = 16
4 - x = 16
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-x = 12
Multiply both sides by -1.
x = -12
