So just use a calculator but here goes
3^1=3
3^2=9
3^3=27
3^4=81
3^5=243
3^6=729
and 3^7 is 2187 which is excluded
Answer:
C. -84
Step-by-step explanation:
It is the smallest because when placed on a number line, it will be the farthest left.
7 will never equal 8 so there is no solution. so i think it is C
a.
The polynomial w^2+18w+84 cannot be factored
The perfect square trinomial is w^2+18w + 81
----------
The reason the original can't be factored is that solving w^2+18w+84=0 leads to no real solutions. Use the quadratic formula to see this. The graph of y = x^2+18x+84 shows there are no x intercepts. A solution and an x intercept are basically the same. The x intercept visually represents the solution.
w^2+18w+81 factors to (w+9)^2 which is the same as (w+9)(w+9). We can note that w^2+18w+81 is in the form a^2+2ab+b^2 with a = w and b = 9
================================================
b.
The polynomial y^2-10y+23 cannot be factored
The perfect square trinomial is y^2-10y + 25
---------
Using the quadratic formula, y^2-10y+23 = 0 has no rational solutions. The two irrational solutions mean that we can't factor over the rationals. Put another way, there are no two whole numbers such that they multiply to 23 and add to -10 at the same time.
If we want to complete the square for y^2-10y, we take half of the -10 to get -5, then square this to get 25. Therefore, y^2-10y+25 is a perfect square and it factors to (y-5)^2 or (y-5)(y-5)
Answer:
a) 1296 bacteria per hour
b) 0 bacteria per hour
c) -1296 bacteria per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
The size of the population at time t is given by:

We differentiate the given function.
Thus, the growth rate is given by:

a) Growth rates at t = 0 hours

b) Growth rates at t = 3 hours

c) Growth rates at t = 6 hours
