Answer:
The slope is 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/2x+3/4y=0
To find the slope, we need to get the equation in the form y= mx+b
Add 1/2x to each side
-1/2x+ 1/2 x+3/4y=0+1/2x
3/4 y = 1/2x
Multiply by 4/3 to isolate y
4/3 * 3/4 y = 4/3 * 1/2 x
y = 2/3 x
The slope is 2/3 and the y intercept is 0
Answer:
2 hours: 3968 <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>
At midnight: 12137
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour. So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.
The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15. Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b. b is (1 + percent increase).
Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450
At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:
(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.
Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor, If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:
P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour. t is time, in hours.
If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is
P = ab^t
Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM. That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10
P = (3000)*(1.15)^10
P = 12137
Find out what x equals too
Answer:
10. put a dot on the number 10
Step-by-step explanation:
3-(-5)-(-2)
when subtracting negatives, you actually end up adding
so
3+5+2=10
