Plane UVWX and plane QRST
(a + 2b) • (a2 - 2ab - 4b2)
The quadratic formula is above.
You want each equation in standard form: ax^2 + bx + c = 0
I begin each problem by defining variables.
For instance 3. Is in standard form. X^2 -2x - 3 = 0. a = 1, b = -2, c = -3
Now use quadratic formula: x = [- b + or - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]\2a
D. 5x = 45 because you are trying to find x, the number of tickets that must be sold to earn $45.
Answer:
a)
b) 334,858 bacteria
c) 4.67 hours
d) 2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Initial number of bacteria is the coefficient, that is, 250. And the growth rate is the coefficient besides “t”: 0.15. It’s rate of growth because of its positive sign; when it’s negative, it’s taken as rate of decay.
Another way to see that is the following:
Initial number of bacteria is N(0), which implies
. And
. The process is:
b) After 2 days means
. So, we just replace and operate:
c)
d)
