Answer:

x ≈ - 6.74, 0.74

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 6x - 5 = 0 ( add 5 to both sides )

x² + 6x = 5

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 5 + 9

(x + 3)² = 14 ( take square root of both sides )

x + 3 = ± \sqrt{14} ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = - 3 ± \sqrt{14}

Then

x = - 3 - \sqrt{14} ≈ - 6.74 ( to the nearest hundredth )

x = - 3 + \sqrt{14} ≈ 0.74 ( to the nearest hundredth )

The population of a bacteria sample doubles every 6 hours. How long would it take for the population to triple?
seraphim [82]

The way to solve this question is to essentially reverse the equation I used in the other answer.


I would solve this with some theoretical values. If you start with 3, how long would it take for it to triple, or reach 9.


the equation would look like 9 = 3(2)^t/6, note how the instead of 1/2 it is now 2 in the parenthesis, as it doubles every 6 hours rather than halves every amount of hours.


When placed into an algebra calculator, the answer should be about 9.5 hours
