Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve using completing square, we need to write the equation as x2+3x=17.

The next step is to add a number such that the square can be completed. The number must be equal to (b/2a)^2, so here it will be (3/2)^2 = 9/4

The equation then becomes x2+3x+(9/4)=17+(9/4).

Solving it further will get you the final answer

Given that there were 30 bacteria present originally.
a=30
Also given that the number doubles every one hour.
After one hour the count =2×30=60
Since the count doubles every hour it forms a G.P. with r=2
a,ar,ar2........
The count at the end of 2nd hour=ar^2=30×2^2=120
The count at the end of 4th hour=ar^4=30×2^4=480
The count at the end of 8th hour=ar^8n=30×2^8=7680
etc.
The count at the end of n^th hour=ar^n=30×2^n

Also, the equation y=30*(2)^8/1 give the same result y= 7680

Please Help What is the value of the expression? −34+(1/10÷2/5)
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Regarding your (1/10 divided by 2/5):  I'm going to regard this as

(1/10) divided by (2/5).  

First, write 

 1
---         
10

Invert the fraction 2/5 and then multiply 1/10 by 5/2:

1(5)
-------- = 1/4, after reducing  5/10.
10(2)

Thus, <span>−34+(1/10÷2/5) yields -34 + 1/4, or   -33 3/4.</span>
